Help shape shire vision
CORANGAMITE Shire Council will hold two public meetings on March 12 to invite the community to share their vision for the future of the shire.
Council will be hosting the Community Conversation Sessions at the Camperdown Theatre Royal at 2pm and 6pm.
The meetings will help council reconfirm and refresh its Community Vision, prepare a new Council Plan and seek community input for other key plans and strategies which will guide council’s activities and decisions.
Participants can share their thoughts on topics including lifestyle, facilities and infrastructure, environmental considerations, community needs across life stages, business investment, employment, education, tourism, health and more.
Sarah Wall, a local netballer, coach and business founder, will speak at the Community Conversation Sessions to kick off the conversation for the night.
Corangamite Shire Council mayor Kate Makin said council refreshed the plans every four years at the start of each council term, and the sessions on Wednesday, March 12 were great opportunities to shape council’s focus for the future.
“This is a unique opportunity to have a say in our community's future,” she said.
“What you like, what you want to change, what you want to protect, and what you want done differently.
“We want to hear from a wide cross-section of the community to ensure we capture the views and aspirations of the whole community.
“Your insights and ideas are crucial as we work together to shape a vibrant and thriving future for Corangamite Shire.
“Whether it's about facilities and infrastructure, environmental considerations, health, or economic growth, every voice matters.”
People can RSVP for the sessions for catering purposes at tinyurl.com/Conversation2025, email shire@corangamite.vic.gov.au or phone 03 5593 7100.
