Help decide Wyong Shire's future

A call has gone out for people to help plan the future.

Residents of Wyong Shire are being invited to join a consultation and liaison group assisting with a 20-year Vision for the area.

The vision will determine where the Shire could and should be heading for future generations and will help focus the efforts of the community, State Government and Wyong Shire Council as they work towards achieving this.

Part of this process involves the establishment of the Community Liaison Group to ensure the public, in partnership with Council, is driving the long-term Vision.

Wyong Mayor, Warren Welham, said developing a long term Vision for the Shire was an "exciting venture for the community".

“It will help recognise and build on the positives we already have in our Shire and also set a direction for where we should be heading in the future.

“This whole process will need to take about 18 months to ensure we get the right outcome.

“A number of community liaison activities and surveys have already been carried out by Council but more will need to be done over the coming months.

“To help with this process, Council will establish a Community Liaison Group to meet regularly and provide practical input.

“I encourage all interested residents and business people to come forward and nominate for this Community Liaison Group and play an active role in our Shire’s future.

“We all want a Shire of which we can continue to be proud. Let’s get involved and set our Vision for how it will look in 20 years.”
