Over the next 12 months, Scenic Rim Regional Council will partner with the community to develop a long term plan that expresses a shared vision for the region’s future. The Scenic Rim Community Plan will guide Council and community action to achieve the vision and will cover a broad range of issues including environment, economic development, wellbeing and community infrastructure.

The Community Plan will guide decision making by government, business, community groups and individuals. It will identify things we can do to make a positive contribution towards the future. The Community Plan will inform Council’s corporate, strategic and financial decisions. It will shape the services Council provides in future and set the direction for land use planning and new community infrastructure.

Council aims to engage as many people as possible in the development of the Community Plan to gain a clear understanding of the community’s thoughts, ideas and suggestions about the region’s future. Council will also use the wealth of information already available about community views, local challenges and opportunities.

Council is committed to ensuring the community’s concerns and aspirations are understood and considered.  An extensive community engagement program will take place in early 2011 with many opportunities for the community to have a say.  Council is also seeking people to contact them if they would like to be involved.
