When developing the Council Plan, we actively engaged with the community through listening posts, community group conversations, online surveys, the community satisfactions survey and engagement expos. We gained valuable insight through these discussions and heard directly from people in the community about their aspirations for the future. There is now one more opportunity for you to comment on the drafts of these plans that will shape the future of our municipality.
As part of our previous engagement a 26-person independent Community Panel was established and tasked with creating a Community Vision for the next 20 years. They were also tasked with providing recommendations to Council regarding the Council Plan and the important question of trust and governance. The panel produced the Horsham 2041 Community Vision which now serves as the key document to guide and inform the development of the Council Plan and other strategic planning documents in to the future. The Community Vision Panel Report is available in the side bar.
