If you missed out on getting into one of the Lismore City Council community workshops to help plan the future, the good news is there's another one in late February.

The workshops, part of Council's Planning for Lismore’s Future engagement exercise, are being held around the region throughout February to get feedback for the development of a new 10-year Community Strategic Plan and a Local Strategic Planning Statement.

Council wishes to identify the community's main priorities and aspirations for the future of the region as well as develop a 20-year vision for land use in the local area and discuss how growth and change will be managed in the decades to come.

There has been significant interest in the community workshops to date so Council will host an additional workshop on Monday, 24 February at the Lismore Workers Club from 9am to 12pm.

“We have had an excellent response to our evening workshops around the region and we wanted to host an additional workshop in Lismore to capture a different group of residents and business owners,” Community Engagement Coordinator Casie Hughes said.

“These workshops will lay the foundation for our new 10-year Community Strategic Plan – a document that guides Council’s ongoing works program and roster of activities. We are also seeking input into the Local Strategic Planning Statement, which will detail where growth can occur in the future, and how we want population growth to be managed in the future.

“If you are interested in these issues, now is the time to get involved and bring your ideas to the table.”

The additional workshop is on Monday, 24 February at the Lismore Workers Club from 9am to 12pm. To register, visit www.yoursay.lismore.nsw.gov.au.
