SURF COAST hinterland residents have kicked off a community planning process that will help shape local funding priorities for the next three years.<\/p>\n

Surf Coast Shire Council is supporting Winchelsea and Moriac to develop strategies that aim to create a shared vision with actions that locals feel motivated to act upon, following extensive engagement with community segments.<\/p>\n

Deans Marsh and district was the first town to develop a community plan in 2019, that has delivered initiatives including a community dinner program, renewable energy projects, local food initiative and formation of the Deans Marsh Streetscapers, who are planning for streetscape improvements.<\/p>\n

Winchelsea and Moriac are the next cabs off the rank for the initiative the shire hopes to continue rolling out shire-wide in coming years.<\/p>\n

Winchelsea Community House chair Tony Phelps is part of the Winchelsea working group and said he was looking forward to collating a masterplan for actioning.<\/p>\n

“This is an independent pilot project funded by the Surf Coast Shire but they are completely hands-off. The project will see community members design and participate in a community driven process by exploring what matters locally and what people are motivated to act upon,” he said.<\/p>\n

“The final plan is not a list of wants for council, or anyone, to fund. It’s a plan for locals to make happen whatever is the best way to make happen.”<\/p>\n

“The end goal is the community plan itself to be available primarily to local people but also going to council as a guide for future planning.”<\/p>\n

Surf Coast Shire Winchelsea Ward councillor Adrian Schonfelder backed the community-led project.<\/p>\n

“Locals know best what makes their township special and what it needs to thrive,” he said.<\/p>\n

“We want Moriac and Winchelsea communities to be the driving force behind their community plans and priorities for their towns and the actions that come from this.”<\/p>\n
