Have your Say Draft Community Participation Plan

Community input and participation is crucial for creating great places and thriving communities across the Moree Plains Shire.The draft Community Participation Plan is an invitation to the community to participate in planning and, provides guidance for how the community can have a say on different types of planning documents, on a general scale (for example, draft Local Environmental Plans) or on a site-specific scale (for example, DAs).

Last year, the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 was amended to require all planning authorities (including councils) to prepare a Community Participation Plan outlining how they will engage with their respective communities in carrying out their planning functions.

The planning functions for Council include:

The Community Participation Plan must not relate to any other functions of Moree Plains Shire Council (Council) and must be published by December 2019.

Council's draft Community Participation Plan is currently available for public comment. A copy can also be viewed at Council's Customer Service Centres in Moree and Mungindi and at the Moree Community Library.
