Community Strategic Plan Ready for Community Feedback

CSPA vibrant, welcoming community; a diversified, growing economy; an environmentally sustainable shire; and a local government that leads and operates with integrity. These are the overarching goals set out in Council’s draft Community Strategic Plan (CSP), which is now available for public comment.

The Community Strategic Plan, called Our Moree Plains – Our Vision to 2036, is a document that identifies the priorities and goals for the Shire for the next 10 years. Under the NSW Office of Local Government’s Integrated Planning and Reporting Guidelines, Council is required to review the plan with the community after each Local Government Election.

Mayor, Cr Susannah Pearse thanked all community members who took the time to come to community meetings or complete the survey, which guided the development of the Plan.

“Our councillors and team have worked hard traveling across the shire in the past few months to ensure that as many community members as possible had their chance to have their say,” said Cr Pearse.

“This document is Council’s overarching Strategic Plan. Everything that Council does over the next term must be in line with this document and the priorities it sets. As such, I encourage every resident to view the plan and let us know where we’ve got it right, and where we need to take another look at it.”

Creating Space for Recovery

Recovery in Communities – Creative Healing Enabling Transformation is a series of activities and events that provide communities across the Moree Plains Shire with the opportunity to connect, recover and build capacity and resilience to contend with future events.

 QR Code Creating Space for RecoveryMoree Plains Shire Council and Jule Jarner joined forces to launch the program Creating Space for Recovery and we are excited to announce we are extending the program.

Creating Space for Recovery is a friendly, creative and collaborative space between 4pm - 7pm on Wednesday afternoons in the Jule Jarner Studio, 167 Balo Street, (behind Social Co House), entry is free.

The space is welcome to all who want to participate in a creative activity. Some may alternatively bring their own personal project or come for a social break.

We are conscious that people have different needs and learning styles, which is why the class will include one casual art activity for attendees to participate in at their leisure.

The art activity will be designed to range from 30 - 90 minutes to ensure people are engaged and can extend or shorten their process depending on their own personal needs and time schedules.
