The Surf Coast shire are calling on the community to share ideas and experiences with them to develop the next Council Plan.
Our Focus Our Future will help deliver a series of strategic documents to guide Council’s work over the next four years.
They want to better understand community priorities and how they can balance this with Council maintaining a sustainable financial position.
People can have their say in the following ways:
Young people can complete the youth survey: https://yoursay.surfcoast.vic.gov.au/…/our-focus-our…
Members of local groups can put in a group submission: https://yoursay.surfcoast.vic.gov.au/…/our-focus-our…
The survey closes 3 February 2025.
There will also be a series of pop-up sessions where people can learn more.
Community panel
A panel of community members will also be established to give advice to Council on the Council Plan.
This will involve 45 local people who will be randomly selected, based on the demographic profile of the shire, to be part of the community panel.
Thousands of people across the shire will receive a letter in the post inviting them to apply to join the panel.
