Stuart Mill Community Plan

Community planning process 

The purpose of this community plan is to guide both council and local residents in implementing activities, programs and projects which are important and relate to the needs of the Stuart Mill community.

To ensure the plan can fulfil its purpose, council will partner with the Stuart Mill community and other key stakeholders to:

  • Define community intentions for future development of the town.
  • Develop a vision for the town into the future. 
  • Identify key priorities for progress and development.
  • Outline the direction for community led initiatives.
  • Agree upon community and council project responsibilities.

  • Provide alignment to council's strategic plans.

Engagement

Stuart Mill residents will be provided with several opportunities to provide their thoughts and ideas surrounding what is needed in order for Stuart Mill to continue to be a thriving and engaged township. 

Key Stakeholder meeting: 29 August 2022

The overall purpose of the first meeting is to discuss:

  • The purpose and intent of the community plan. 
  • Learnings from the previous community plan implementation.
  • Any outstanding activities of the previous plan which may roll over to the new plan.
  • Critical areas of interest for the new community plan. 
  • Best ways of engaging with the community to identify key priority areas for action.
