Eurobodalla Shire Council Media Release -  27 July 2010

Developing a plan for the future - be proud, be part of it

Eurobodalla Shire Council has adopted the community engagement strategy for a strategic plan that will capture the community's wishes and establish the shared objectives for the future of our Shire.

eurobodalla 2030 will be prepared by Council with the community and other government and non-government agencies over the next 18 months to meet the requirements of a new planning and reporting framework.

The Mayor, Fergus Thomson, says when finished, the plan will be the Council and the Eurobodalla community's highest level strategic document. "Eurobodalla 2030 will set out the priorities and the best way forward for the people, the environment and the economy of our Shire."

"It will be based on community input and the feedback gathered during conversations and consultations which have been designed to capture and establish what the shared objectives for the Shire's future are. The community engagement and media strategy will ensure everyone is aware of the development process of the plan and of the ways to get involved," he said.

Members of the community will be able to participate actively in many ways, including speaking with the Mayor, other Councillors and staff at community engagement meetings and information sessions. Clr Thomson urges everyone to take part.
