Consultation has concluded.
Thank you to everyone who contributed their thoughts and ideas to the development of Corangamite Shire’s first Community Vision. The Citizens Jury has considered all submissions, sought additional information, obtained advice from subject experts and completed its deliberations. The Jury’s final report was adopted by Council at the June Council Meeting 2021.
Members of the Corangamite community are invited to read the 2040 Corangamite Community Vision. Public submissions were put before Council prior to its consideration of the Jury’s final report.
Background to the preparation of the 2040 Corangamite Community Vision can be found below, including links to all public submissions received.
BACKGROUND
A SHARED VISION
Corangamite Shire has embarked on a project to develop a community-led vision of a preferred future for the whole of our municipality. Like the current township community plans, this Shire-wide vision will be created by the community, for the community.
Under the new Victorian Local Government Act 2020, the Community Vision will be updated every four years, so that its currency will be maintained for the four-year term of each newly elected Council.
A PREFERRED FUTURE
Planning for 2040 is a big topic and there are many different ways to approach it. One is to make predictions about the future based on past experience or identified trends. This year has shown us that this can be a risky business. Another approach is to imagine a different world beyond current constraints, but that too may not be especially practical. This Community Vision is more than some fanciful wish for a far-off future - it is meant to be something to guide what we do and the decisions we make today. For that reason, we are suggesting that our planning here should be for a preferred vision or visions for Corangamite Shire. That way we will set a direction - something to work towards together.
A CITIZENS JURY
This first Corangamite Community Vison has been prepared independently of Council. A Citizens Jury has been selected by an independent agency. All jury sessions will be conducted online, supported by an independent facilitator.
Ideas to be considered by the Citizens Jury will come from members of the Corangamite community. The Jury will also request other information it needs for its deliberations. All community submissions will be made available to the public for viewing online.
The new Victorian Local Government Act 2020 requires Council to develop a Community Vision to provide strategic direction for Council’s long-term planning for the municipality, as well as the four-year Council Plan.
It has been demonstrated that decisions made with genuine and thorough community participation are better and more effective decisions than those made solely by elected officials or public servants.
Communities not only have a right to participate in decisions which affect them, they can have trust in decisions made by fellow citizens given sufficient time and access to information to deliberate on their decisions free from undue influence.
