The MidCoast Council want your thoughts on whether the community vision for 2030 still resonates with you, what has changed since 2018 and whether they need to pivot or adjust the actions and strategies in their plan to achieve the vision for 2030.

General manager, Adrian Panuccio described the community strategic plan 2030 council's focus for the future.

But,over time things can change, and new priorities can emerge, he said.

"We know that since the community developed the plan in 2018 we've experienced a range of events that have impacted us, from an unprecedented drought, to bushfires, pandemic and then floods.

"With any long term plan, it's important to review regularly - to ensure that adjustments to changing conditions are made to keep the plan on track."

While the current public health orders prevent council from holding engagement activities in person, it has created a range of feedback opportunities such as quizzes and a comment section so that everyone can participate from home.
