RURAL ROUND UP

- By Councilor Warren Waddell

This month we need the community’s feedback on more subjects than ever before! Council has been hard at work as we try and bring recommenda­tions into reality on a number of issues. If you have an interest in any of the following, please think about making a contributi­on.

RURAL LAND REVIEW

Do you have an idea on how we continue to live and enjoy our rural environmen­t while still ensuring our essential services remain relevant? Think about how as a community, we might support our schools, businesses, service providers, etc., through better planning...have your say!

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMEN­T AND TOURISM STRATEGY

What are your views on business within the rural area? How do we combat the decline in wholesale production to farm direct? How best do we extract the maximum benefit from visitation­s to our region? Have your say!

Do we have enough commercial space or rural activity required to support jobs? We would love to hear from you.

Help us prepare the supporting infrastruc­ture for these essential outdoor activities into the future.

Check out the study and recommenda­tions for our playground­s. Have we got it right as we attempt to get the best value from these important community spaces.

ENVIRONMEN­T

We have five environmen­tal studies that cut across sustainabi­lity, urban forest, water management, climate and conservati­on... have your say!

to view the current exhibition­s and have your say. Otherwise visit Council’s customer service or one of our libraries for details.
