Welcome to the Shire of Cuballing
"Your Shire, Your Say"
The Shire of Cuballing is reviewing its strategic direction and priorities for the coming years. "We want Cuballing to grow as an attractive place to live, work, visit and do business" Shire President Tom Wittwer, said today. " That's what our planning for the future is about".
The Council wants to know what you think about the future of Cuballing and what the priorities should be.
During the week of 6-12 September, a telephone survey will be conducted. The survey will ask what's most important for the Council to focus on and how well it's doing now. The survey will also be asking participants for their vision for Cuballing. This will focus on the natural and built environment, economic prosperity, cultural vitality and social wellbeing.
The telephone survey will involvea randomsample of residents. To make sure everyone has the chance to have their say, there will be a community workshop with an open invitation to the whole community. Details of the workshop will be announced shortly. There will also be the opportunity to make submissions on the draft Strategic Plan later in the year.
The Shire and Town of Narrogin are conducting a similar survey with their residents.
