Waratah Wynyard Council has been working on a settlement strategy for the towns of the Waratah-Wynyard municipality. The settlement strategy is a planning document to set a direction for the development of the towns and villages of the Waratah-Wynyard Council area. It seeks to ensure they become (even) better places to live and work. The scope of the strategy is largely set by regional planning documents and in particular the Cradle Coast Regional Land Use Strategy. However, Council believe that the best way to achieve the goals laid out in these documents is a matter best decided with the community. To this end we undertook the first round of consultation for the strategy between the 4-19th June. The findings of this survey have been very helpful for us to see your communities through your eyes, to understand what gives your towns and villages character, what would most contribute to liveability and what you like and dislike about living there. We have now had a chance to take stock of your responses and it has revealed some very useful insights for us. We have documented these findings, along with the lessons we have learnt from the consultation and the next steps in the report here. If you have already responded to the original survey, please take a moment to see if we have understood you correctly. If you haven’t responded to the original survey please have a look to see if you share the views expressed about the character of your area and best way to support liveability. Please let us know what you think, either to support the direction set by this document or suggest it can be improved. Everyone’s responses matter and help us to ensure our plans are best tailored to your needs. if posible can you let us know what you think before the 25th September so we might consider your input in time to prepare our next draft. thank you,
