Community Plan Proposals opening soon

Published on 25 November 2022

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 2023/24 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), 2023/24 proposed Fees and Charges, Capital Works program, Annual Budget and Delivery Program. Council’s General Manager, Brad Cam said this is the community’s chance to let Council know what projects and activities they’d like to see. “If you’d like to see investments in public facilities, improvements to neighbourhood footpaths or more public toilets – now is your chance to have your say,” Mr Cam said.

Successful community proposals that have recently been completed include hand dryers in Gulgong Memorial Hall, replacement of synthetic surface at the cricket nets at Victoria Park Gulgong (pictured), and renewal of footpath in Memorial Park Mudgee.

Opening on Monday, 28 November and closing Monday, 9 January, proposals can be submitted via Council’s website midwestern.nsw.gov.au.
