How did the community help develop this plan?

Council's Our Focus Our Future project guided the development of these strategic documents in three phases. Phase one (participatory) and phase two (community panel) were aimed at seeking broad and targeted community input into the development of the draft documents. Phase three (review) sought to provide a final check in with community and provide an opportunity for feedback on the draft Council Plan.
