'Advancing Our Region' Your Community Plan 2022-2032
With the election of a new council, the community is encouraged to take advantage of the opportunity to revisit its community plan. Is Council on track to deliver the vision of the ‘Advancing Our Region’ Community Plan?
Background information:
The Community Plan was developed and endorsed by Council after extensive consultation in 2021/2022.
The Community Plan represents the community’s aspirations for our region and sets the tone for Council’s ‘Delivery Program’ and ‘Operational Plan’.
Community encouraged to revisit Armidale Region’s Community Plan:
Three years in and ahead of a new council, it is timely for the community to check in with the plan – including what has been achieved so far.
Armidale Region’s new Council will be inducted in early October. They will be invited to participate in community consultation, including 'pop-up stalls' around the region during October. This is an opportunity for new councillors to meet with people and gather community thoughts that will be collated alongside ‘Your Say’ feedback.
Proposed dates for 'pop-up stall' community consultation opportunities:
- 4pm-6pm, Thursday 10 October - Ebor (across from Ebor Falls Hotel Motel)
- 5.30pm-7pm, Wednesday 16 October - Hillgrove Public Hall
- 12.30pm-3pm, Thursday 24 October - Armidale Central Shopping Centre
- 9am-1pm, Sunday 27 October - Armidale PCYC Markets
- 12.30pm-3pm, Tuesday 29 October - Guyra Main Street
- 4pm-6pm, Tuesday 29 October - Ben Lomond Hall
The Community Plan will then be placed on Public Exhibition in December. Council endorsement of the revised plan is expected to be sought in February 2025.
Informed by the endorsed Community Plan, the next ‘Delivery Program’ and ‘Operational Plan & Budget’ will then be prepared for Council, seeking endorsement for Public Exhibition.
