I am really pleased to advise that the draft of our North Arm Cove and Carrington local community plan has finally been completed and is now released for resident review and feedback.
We are asking North Arm Cove and Carrington residents and landowners to read the plan and give us feedback on it and the initiatives listed in it. The feedback will be used to develop a final version of the plan which will then be submitted to MidCoast Council.
The plan was developed by a steering group of North Arm Cove residents under the guidance of Council officers, and the group endeavoured to make sure that it reflected the needs and desires of the North Arm Cove and Carrington communities, as expressed in the submissions to the Council postcard and online survey in late 2020, and community submissions to Council before then.
The objectives of the plan are to:
- identify and prioritise the needs and desires of the North Arm Cove and Carrington communities,
- inform stakeholders, including MidCoast Council and State and Federal Governments of these needs, desires and priorities,
- be used by Council to include plan initiatives in its management processes, and
- be used to support grant funding applications.
The plan also sets out the roles that the steering group believes Council and our communities should be taking to implement it.
An awful lot of work went into developing this plan, and we hope that our communities recognise this effort and provide feedback on it.
It is intended that the plan will be regularly reviewed so that it is kept up to date and used by Council, our communities and State and Federal Governments to plan, fund and implement improvements for the North Arm Cove and Carrington communities.
