Community Plan Proposals

Published on 05 December 2023

Council has commenced its budget planning for the next financial year and is encouraging residents to submit proposals as part of the process.

Residents can put forward Community Plan Proposals for new infrastructure, projects, activities and improvements throughout the region to be considered in the 2024/25 Operational Plan.

The Operational Plan sets out the projects and activities which Council is committed to over the coming financial year, as well as measures and time frames to achieve this. The plan includes Council’s Revenue Policy (Rating Model), 2024/25 proposed Fees and Charges, Capital Works program, Annual Budget and Delivery Program.

Councils General Manager, Brad Cam, emphasized the importance of community input in shaping upcoming projects. “This presents an opportunity for the community to express their preferences regarding potential investments in public facilities, enhancements to neighbourhood footpaths, or the addition of public toilets. Your feedback is instrumental in guiding Council’s decisions”.

Recent successful proposals include, the Rylstone playground and shade sails installed at Mudgee, Gulgong, Rylstone and Kandos. Proposals can be made on Council’s website from now until 12 January 2024.
