COMMUNITY CONSULTATION PROCESS TO COMMENCE
As part of new requirements Cooma-Monaro Shire Council will be developing a Community Strategic Plan, which will be in place by 30 June 2012.
COOMA-MONARO 2022 is the theme for our consultation process for the Community Strategic Plan.
The Plan will be the single most important document prepared by Council, and involves significant community input. The plan will identify what the community would like to see Cooma-Monaro look like in the next 10 years and more.
The Community Strategic Plan will replace the current Management Plan, Social Plan and Annual Reporting requirements. The Plan does this by integrating a Resourcing Strategy (Long Term Financial Planning, Workforce Management Planning, and Asset Management Planning) with a Delivery Program and Operational Plan.
An important first step in developing the Community Strategic Plan has been working out an appropriate method for the necessary community consultation process.
Council will be conducting “community conversations”, and this will include an on-line and in-field survey, the use of social media, individual discussions with identified community groups and wider group workshops in all towns and villages within the Cooma-Monaro Shire.
The “community conversations” task is extremely important and recently Councillors and a number of staff have completed “facilitation training” to ensure that we are well placed to provide an effective community consultation process.
Community Conversations have already commenced with staff attending meetings with small groups, and attending the Rotary Markets in Centennial Park Cooma, and meeting shoppers in Centennial Plaza (Coles).
We plan to do more of these meetings with smaller groups as well as larger community “forums”. We will hold these forums with larger groups and at each village or community area.
Our first community forum will be held at:
• Michelago Community Hall - Wednesday 29 June 2011, 5pm to 7pm
Pictures: Staff attending the Rotary Markets Sunday 19 June discussing with members of the community what they would like to see by the year 2022. A good time was had by all.
Similar conversations have been happening throughout the community and staff has explained how to fi ll in the survey and referring people to online survey.

DRAFT COMMUNITY STRATEGIC PLAN
On Monday May 2 Mayor Dean Lynch launched our Cooma-Monaro 2022 consultation process. This process will assist us in developing out new Community Strategic Plan.
The intention of this plan is to have a vision and strategies that will reflect the aspirations of people who live, visit and work in Cooma-Monaro Shire.
It is a 10 year vision that we want to develop as a collaborative effort between the community and Council.
Cooma-Monaro 2022 will define a sustainable direction for our community and we want it to set out the direction which Council will follow in achieving goals that meet the needs of this community for the next 10 years.
Cooma-Monaro shire has a key role in shaping the future of our Community however there are a range of other partners who play a vital role. They include our residents, local businesses, community organisations and both State and Federal Government.
Through cooperation it will be possible to achieve value for money and a coordinated approach to meeting our community’s needs and priorities.
The outcome of the Community Strategic Plan will determine the priorities for our shire and the services and projects that council delivers on over the next 10 years.
To have your say in this process you can participate in a range of ways. Check the options in the "Participate" section on this page.
We look forward to hearing from you soon. |
