Tantanoola Community Vision
Wattle Range Council is seeking input from the people of Tantanoola in developing the Tantanoola Community Vision.
What is a Community vision?
Each of the 13 townships of the Wattle Range Council region has its own unique community town plan written by the community, with the assistance of Council, outlining their ideas with the aim of aiding a strategic approach to implementing projects and initiatives over a ten-year period.
The objective of a community vision is to facilitate a living process, allowing priorities and projects to change in line with community needs from year to year.
Our intention is to replace what was the 'Community Town Plan', with the brand new 'Community Vision', which will capture the thoughts and ideas of those living in each town, helping to better guide Council decision making, enhancing community vibrancy, ensuring environmental sustainability, and inspiring innovation.
What projects matter to you?
We want to hear what matters to you and what projects you would like to see Council fund in your town in the future. What should be included in your community's vision?
The reimagined Community Vision will only include projects that can be achieved by Council from discretionary funds. Your project idea could be relating to the following:
- Council buildings, roads, footpaths and drainage
- Parks and gardens, open spaces, walking and cycling trails
- The 'amenity' (look and feel) of the community including signage
- Sport and recreation areas
- Business, tourism and events
Note: See Asset Management Plans for scheduled renewal Program - project ideas should only be for projects not identified in our Asset Management Plans.
Background
In April 2022, Council held a community consultation session at the Tantanoola Football & Netball Club with the aim to provide an update to the community on the Town Plan and to discuss the town signage
Feedback provided at this session have been included in the ideas already identified for consideration in the new Community Vision.
