Help shape the future Fraser Coast

Fraser Coast residents are being encouraged to help shape Council’s direction and a shared vision for the region’s future.

Mayor George Seymour said Council was developing a new Corporate Plan and wanted to understand the values and priorities of the community.

“Our region is changing and growing, and Council plays an essential role in enhancing our lifestyle and economy while preserving the unique natural environment that makes the Fraser Coast so remarkable,” he said.

“We want to build better communities together, and we want to give everyone the opportunity to have a say on where we head in the future.”

Cr Seymour said a web page about the new Corporate Plan had been set up on Council’s Engagement Hub at https://frasercoast.engagementhub.com.au/renewed-corporate-plan with a fact sheet, FAQs and a link to an online survey for residents to fill out.

Survey participants will also have a chance to win a $100 Buy Local gift card, with 10 up for grabs.

“Our Corporate Plan is our main strategic planning and visionary document. It charts the path forward for Council and guides how we deliver quality services to the community,” Cr Seymour said.

“The results of the community survey will provide a starting point as we develop Council’s renewed Corporate Plan.”

The survey is open now and closes on 30 October 2022.

It is a legislative requirement under the Local Government Act 2009 and the Local Government Regulation 2012 that Councils have a Corporate Plan.

The new Corporate Plan is expected to be finalised and adopted by Council in early 2023.
