Mount Alexander Shire Council is releasing the draft Environment Strategy 2015-2025 and is offering the opportunity for the community to discuss the strategy prior to it being adopted by Council in late July.
The strategy outlines the Shire’s eight environmental priority areas and incorporates feedback from the public comment period and community workshops held in April and May.
Specific changes to the strategy include adding commentary about the previous Environment Strategy, more detail around the scope of the strategy, and how it fits with the Council Plan and planning scheme. The value of recognising and placing greater emphasis on community partnerships and how they help meet the Shire’s environmental goals was seen as important.
Community members and organisations are invited to pre-book a timeslot to meet with Council staff and discuss the revised strategy. Sessions are available between 3.00pm and 7.00pm on Thursday 9 July.
To book your session please contact Dallas Giles, Healthy Environments Administration Officer, on 5471 1768 or via email.
Sessions will be held at the Ray Bradfield Rooms, between the Maxi IGA carpark and Victory Park, Castlemaine.
