Community Plans

Community plans are about obtaining local peoples' views on the place that they call home. It involves celebrating the things that make their community special and creating a vision of what the community would like for the future. From this vision, the community can identify actions to be carried out to achieve this vision.

The plans also help Council, government departments, businesses, visitors, new people to the area and individuals living in the area, to understand the direction that community would like to go in the future.

So far fourteen communities have developed their own community plan. These plans are available below to download at the bottom of this page.
