The Shire of Merredin are currently undergoing the process of developing its first ever Council Plan, and we are calling on our community to help us shape the future of the Shire across our key themes listed below:
What is a Council Plan?
The Council Plan combines the Shire’s Strategic Community Plan and Corporate Business Plan into a single document, outlining the long-term priorities, goals, and vision that guide Council’s decision-making. This community survey is the first step in the Council Plan development process. We are therefore seeking feedback from as many people as possible to help us determine our strategic direction for the next ten years, including key service areas and projects for the future.
Are there other ways to get involved?
Absolutely! The Shire will be hosting a series of workshops and attending local events, giving you plenty of opportunities to get involved. If you would like to find out more about what activities there are on offer, please visit www.merredin.wa.gov.au.
