AT its meeting yesterday South Gippsland Shire Council endorsed the draft 2017 – 2021 Council Plan to go out for public consultation.
The draft plan balances sense of community and growth for the future of South Gippsland. It provides a guideline for sensible development to retain and enhance community life while meeting economic demands.
In drafting the plan Council has considered community feedback and Councillors’ ideas through a range of mediums including OurSay, Community Satisfaction Surveys, letters, presentations, the Know Your Council website, Councillors and Regional, State and Federal directions.
South Gippsland Shire Mayor Councillor Ray Argento said the Council Plan will be the driving force behind Council’s future decision making.
“The Council Plan creates a clear direction of how we must conduct ourselves over the next four years to achieve our goals and aspirations.
“We will create a South Gippsland where community life continues to be valued while our region welcomes economic growth and development.
“Further feedback is welcomed from the community, this document creates the foundation for all our work so it is vital that we receive as much feedback as possible,” said the Mayor.
