Bundaberg Region 2031 is Bundaberg Regional Council's long-term Community Plan.
Completed and adopted by Council on 22nd March 2011, Bundaberg Region 2031 outlines our desired vision, goals, strategies and key actions. Covering a period of twenty years, the document is a high-level aspirational plan that articulates our desired long term future and strategies to realise our vision.
What is the Community Plan?
The community plan is effectively a strategic plan at a local community level, determining how we achieve the best results for our community, and how we can ensure our services and facilities continueto meet our region's needs.
The community plan includes the Bundaberg region's preferred future or vision, outlining how our residents see a desirable lifestyle for their community in twenty years, and identifies broad strategies and goals under a range of topics or themes, as well as key actions we collectively need to implement in order to achieve those goals.
Essentially, the community plan visualises the region we'd like to call home in 2031. For this reason, we've called the community plan Bundaberg Region 2031.
How was the Community Plan developed?
The key to developing a successful 'whole of region' community plan that adequately fits our region, that will resemble the way we'd like to live in 2031, has been your involvement.
In July 2010 we established the 'Your 2031' online survey, and by the time it closed on Friday 10 September 2010, we'd received over 500 submissions. Thank you to the local people who participated.
For those people who didn't have an opportunity to complete the 'Your 2031' online survey, we also provided the opportunity to participate in one of three local visioning workshops, held in Gin Gin (19 August 2010), Bundaberg (23 August 2010) and Childers (27 August 2010). Thank you to the many local people who participated and provided us with 276 suggestions.
We used your feedback and ideas to develop a Draft Community Plan, which was presented to the Bundaberg regional community during November 2010. We held public presentations of the Draft Community Plan in Gin Gin (4 November 2010), Bargara (9 November 2010), Moore Park Beach (10 November 2010), Bundaberg (11 November 2010), Childers (15 November 2010) and Woodgate Beach (17 November 2010) .
We provided a summary of the findings from the 'Your 2031' survey process and regional community visioning exercises, and we answered many questions about the format of the Draft Community Plan, and the reasoning behind our various catalysts.
Financial & Long-Term Asset Management Plans
