Kyogle Council is asking the community for feedback on three draft strategies that will guide the development and growth of the local government area over the next 10 to 20 years.

The three draft strategies – the Community Strategic Plan, the Local Growth Management Strategy, and the Climate Change Adaption Strategy – were adopted at the 10 June Council meeting for public comment.

Kyogle Mayor Cr Danielle Mulholland described the three draft strategies as hugely important to the future of the LGA and encouraged everyone to take the time to read them and provide feedback.

“The Community Strategic Plan is Council’s highest level plan and identifies the main priorities and aspirations for the future of the LGA for the next 10 years,” Cr Mulholland said.

“It guides and influences all other plans, including our annual budget allocations and four-year delivery plan.”

The Local Growth Management Strategy provides a roadmap for directing and managing sustainable growth, with tailored policy directions to guide long-term use of residential, commercial, industrial, rural and environmental land.

Meanwhile, the Climate Change Adaptation Strategy explores the impacts of a changing climate on the Kyogle LGA and identifies priorities to support the community, environment and businesses to be more prepared and resilient to these changes.

“I can’t stress enough how important these strategies are to the future of our local government area, which is why we involved the community initially in their development,” Cr Mulholland said.

“And now we want the community to read the draft strategies and provide their input on the direction, priorities and actions outlined.

“If you are interested in the future of the Kyogle LGA, Council wants to hear what you think of these plans. Please take the time to read the strategies and provide feedback.”

The draft Community Strategic Plan, Local Growth Management Strategy and Climate Change Adaption Strategy are available to view on the Public Exhibition page of the Council website at https://www.kyogle.nsw.gov.au/council-engagement/council-business/on-public-exhibition/

Public submissions on all three draft documents will be accepted until close of business 9 July 2025 and can provided by emailing council@kyogle.nsw.gov.au or writing to the General Manager, PO Box 11, Kyogle, NSW, 2474.
