Fantastic survey response from Tawonga community

In May Council asked the Tawonga community to help refine the future use of the land currently occupied by the Tawonga Scout Hall.

Alpine Shire Mayor Sarah Nicholas said the ageing building will be demolished to make way for something that better meets the needs of the growing township.

“The response to our survey was fantastic - 280 responses!” she said.

“The largest number of votes supported the installation of a pump track.

“A community building received the second largest number of votes, with the parkland and relocated playing courts receiving less support.

“Thank you to everyone who completed the survey and attended a community session - it was fantastic to see the Tawonga community respond to this project with passion and commitment and it will be terrific to see it roll out in the future.

“These survey results will help inform the concept designs for this space - keep your eyes out for updates on this exciting project!”

The concept plans for the site are currently being completed, factoring in the strong responses from the community.

Council will keep the community informed on the final concept plans, which will be presented to Council for endorsement at a future Council Meeting, as well as next steps to secure funding and move forward with delivery.

The survey results are available to view on Council’s website at www.alpineshire.vic.gov.au/council/major-projects/current-projects/alpin...

Some responses have been edited/removed to maintain the anonymity of respondents.
