The Shire’s Community Development area, in simple terms, aims to assist the community to reach its potential through the use of community development principles and practice. To help guide this process, the Shire has produced the Community Development Plan “Connected from Land to Sea’ 2008-2013.
The plan identified the following five Goals to address community issues and needs, enhance opportunities and mobiles strengths / capacities identified via the consultation process:
