The DRAFT Leeton Shire Community Strategic Plan – Leeton on the Go 2035 – is now available for review and comment, following endorsement at the December Ordinary Council Meeting.
Published on 28 November 2024
At its November Ordinary Council Meeting, the newly-elected Councillors were presented the State of the Shire Report; an important document highlighting general progress against the community aspirations as identified three years ago in the “Liveable Leeton 2035” Community Strategic Plan (CSP).
Under the Local Government Act 1993 (Section 428(2)), Council is required to present this report at the second meeting of the new Council. The report provides an overview of Council's and the community's progress toward achieving the community’s 10-year vision for the Shire and its residents.
Leeton Shire Mayor, Cr George Weston, said Leeton has made some excellent progress in many areas and continues to punch above its weight.
“This document is an insightful resource that provides an overview of our collective achievements in the last three years as we strive to deliver the community aspirations outlined in the 2021 Community Strategic Plan. It also gives us all a solid platform for finalising the next CSP in December,” he said.
A summary of the key positive highlights is provided below:
The community is still concerned about water buybacks; the delays in the Roxy redevelopment; housing shortages and wait times for social housing.
Those interested in reading the full report are encouraged to visit Council’s website.
