Gilgandra Shire Council (GSC) is inviting our residents to complete its Community Insights Survey and join the conversation on the facilities and services provided on your behalf, to assist in planning our future over the next 10 years of the 2034 Community Strategic Plan.

The Community Strategic Plan is GSC’s highest level plans and identifies the community's main priorities and vision for the Region, it is the blueprint that outlines the identified vision, priorities and actions to achieve under the guiding themes of Live, Enjoy, Grow, & Lead.

Your feedback will provide insight into the:

  • Level of satisfaction of Gilgandra Region as a place to Live, Enjoy & Grow ;
  • Level of satisfaction with Council’s overall services and facilities
  • Council’s overall performance;
  • Community priorities and focus areas that will directly inform the review of the 2034 Community Strategic Plan, ensuring the community's plan for our future stays relevant and targets priority areas.

Gilgandra Shire Mayor, Doug Batten encourages all community members to complete the survey and share their open and honest feedback on the facilities and services delivered on your behalf.   

 "Since the Gilgandra Region Community Strategic Plan had its last full review in 2021, there has been much progression and changed in our region following impacts of drought, floods and pandemic have left deep imprints on how we live our lives.

Adding,

“This insights survey and upcoming Community Strategic Plan consultations, planned for early 2025, aim to understand what the community values most about living in the Gilgandra Region, the strengths they recognise in our community services and facilities provided by Council, and how they think we can build on these to address the key challenges and opportunities facing our region now and into the future.”
