On exhibition - Eurobodalla 2030 draft Community Strategic Plan

The blueprint for a better, more resilient Eurobodalla which builds on our Shire's strengths and sets its direction for the future is now back on public exhibition.

With its vision of a friendly, responsible, thriving and proud Shire, the draft eurobodalla2030 Community Strategic Plan is now available online and at our libraries, with Council seeking comment until Monday 12 December 2011.

"The Community Strategic Plan commits the community, the Council and other responsible groups to improved wellbeing, a stronger local economy and healthy natural and built environments, and responsible leadership," said the Mayor, Fergus Thomson.

The draft represents the voice of the more than 2,000 people who took part in the Eurobodalla 2030 engagement process over the last 15 months and also considers the 66 submissions made during its last exhibition in July and August.

Clr Thomson says there have been improvements made to two of the nine long term objectives and 21 of the 29 strategies. "The plan's indicators and measures of success have also been updated following discussions with relevant State and Federal Government agencies," he said.

Endorsed by the Community Reference Group, the draft Plan outlines:

  • the community's shared vision for a friendly, responsible, thriving and proud shire
  • four strategic focus areas
  • nine long term objectives to be achieved by the year 2030
  • 29 strategies and partnerships to fulfil these objectives.

The Eurobodalla 2030 draft Community Strategic Plan can be viewed online at www.eurobodalla2030.com.au  or at Council's administration building in Moruya.

Submissions to the draft plan closed at 4.30pm, Monday 12 December 2011.
