Draft Waratah-Wynyard Council Strategic Plan 2009-2014 (2049 kb)

Waratah-Wynyard Council has endorsed a draft Strategic Plan for 2009-2014 and is now seeking feedback from the community.

"Council looks forward to hearing from people interested in the future in Waratah-Wynyard municipality. Council plans to be well equipped to strategically manage and deliver services to meet the needs of our changing community", Mayor Hyland said.

A series of twelve workshops were held from 29^th April - 27^th May involving 145 community stakeholders. A broad spectrum of issues were raised, and Council has responded by proposing a range of strategic approaches included in the draft Plan.

Included in the top five issues raised through the consultation process were:

• Built infrastructure (roads, rail, airport, wharf, signage)
• Weed management;
• Sensitive development of tourism;
• Planning scheme and land use policies; and,
• Communication between Council and the community.

"This process is further evidence of Council's commitment to an ongoing conversation with the community about the future of the municipality" said Mayor Hyland.

The draft Strategic Plan is also available from Council offices in Wynyard and Waratah. Comments on the draft plan can be mailed to Waratah-Wynyard Council, PO Box 168, Wynyard 7325, or emailed to council@warwyn.tas.gov.au by Friday 27^th November 2009.
