Kyogle Council has adopted a roadmap for the future of the Kyogle Local Government Area (LGA) that will guide the council over the next 10 years.

The Kyogle Community Strategic Plan 2025-2035 (CSP) was developed over six months in consultation with the community. It was adopted unanimously at Council’s 11 August meeting.

Kyogle Mayor Cr Danielle Mulholland said the CSP balanced protection of the area’s natural environment, community spirit and character with encouraging sustainable development to create jobs, business opportunities and housing options for current and future residents.

It also focuses on getting the basics -- better roads, reliable communications, well-maintained public spaces and great community facilities – right.

“The CSP is Council’s highest level strategic plan and guides other important plans including our yearly budget, four-year delivery program as well as our Long Term Financial Plan,” Cr Mulholland said.

“It was developed after extensive community consultation that included a community survey and nine community meetings and drop-in sessions in Kyogle and the villages to ensure everyone had a chance to have their voice heard.

“Similarly, delivering the vision of our future outlined in the CSP isn’t something Council can do alone.

“The plan often refers to “we” and “our,” and that encompasses the whole Kyogle LGA community including local residents, other levels of government, businesses, and the not-for-profit sector.

“I’m urging everyone to have a look at the CSP to get a better understanding of Council’s priorities (as identified by the community) and how we can all work together to achieve our shared vision.”
