It’s 2020 and your chance to have a say and share your vision for the future of Lismore is here.

Lismore City Council invites community members to get involved in upcoming workshops to help develop a 10-year Community Strategic Plan and a Local Strategic Planning Statement.

This process includes workshops in Lismore, Nimbin and other rural areas to get broad community input into these plans.

Lismore City Mayor Isaac Smith said this was a great opportunity for the community to let the council know what its vision is for the future of Lismore.

“This is an opportunity for community members to help shape the broad strategic objectives for Lismore, Nimbin and our rural communities through to 2030,” he said.

Council is also preparing a Local Strategic Planning Statement, which looks specifically at land use. 

The community is invited to help develop a 20-year vision for land use in the local area and have input into what special characteristics contribute to local identity, shared community values to be maintained and enhanced, and how growth and change will be managed in decades to come.

“If you would like to help shape the future of Lismore, Nimbin and our villages, now is the time to have your say. I encourage people who are interested to register for one of the upcoming workshops,” Councillor Smith said.
