Council launches 'Future Federation 2040' consultation

Every local government area in New South Wales must work with their community to develop a Community Strategic Plan.

This stems from the central assumption that all council planning should originate from a sound understanding of the community’s expectations around priorities.

Federation Council Mayor, Cr Cheryl Cook said this is a great opportunity to share your ideas and influence our future.

“It’s your chance to envisage what you, your friends, family and the wider community will need to grow and thrive towards 2040,” Mayor Cook said.

Mayor Cook shared that she looked forward to collaborating with the community on this critical project.

The Future Federation 2040, community consultation will commence with a range of activities across the local government area, including a survey which can be completed online on council's website www.federationcouncil.nsw.gov.au

“I encourage everyone to get involved during October, November, and December and to have their say,” she said.

“There will be several opportunities for people to conveniently share their thoughts, including a survey, pop ups, and community workshops.

“We all have aspirations for a better future. Future Federation 2040 allows us to consider what we love about where we live, what we’d like our future to look like, and how we will get there. Together, we can document a future vision that respects our unique local area and lifestyle.”
