Councillor Jane Smith will conduct a community workshop on Sunday, May 18, to discuss important Central Coast Council documents now on public exhibition.
Smith stressed that this was not an official Council event, but was aimed at encouraging community engagement and would be run in partnership with the community.
It will be held from 2pm-4pm at Peninsula Community Centre, 93 McMasters Rd, Woy Woy.
The documents to be considered, all on exhibition until June 2, are: Community Strategic Plan – a 10-year plan that outlines the community’s vision and priorities; Delivery Program and Operational Plan – Council’s priorities, actions, and budget for the next four years; Fees and Charges – to be charged in 2025-26; Workforce Management Strategy – four-year strategy; Long-term Financial Management Plan – 10-year financial projection; and Asset Management Strategy – 10-year strategy.
They can be found at www.yourvoiceourcoast.com/planning-our-future-2025-2035
A number of community groups will speak briefly (5-10 minutes) about the documents they have looked at and any concerns they have.
The workshop will then be open for general discussion at different tables – looking at the various documents.
“My goal is that community members/groups go away with a better understanding of the role of these documents, some ideas about issues they support or disagree with and some points that they might want to include in a submission,” Smith said.
The workshop will begin at 2pm with a welcome and outline from Smith, followed by presentations until 3pm.
Following a short break, the general discussion will be conducted at various stations.
The workshop is free but registrations are essential at events.humanitix.com/community-workshop-have-your-say-ipr
