With the first phase of community engagement for the development of the new Community Strategic Plan over, all feedback has been analysed and is being used (in conjunction with Council and Manager’s feedback) to guide the contents of the draft Plan.

 The feedback reveals that the issues of most importance to the community are keeping streets clean and tackling illegal dumping, addressing graffiti, accessible and more efficient public transport, maintaining diversity, greening the area, other environmental issues such as energy efficiency and cleaning up the Cooks River, and maintaining local roads, footpaths and parks.

Work continues on the draft Plan at this time, and the community will have an opportunity to have their say on the draft later in 2010.
