Council is running an open community consultation on Tuesday November 18 from 4pm to 6pm at the Trafalgar Community Centre.
Councillors and council officers will join the community to talk about the future of Trafalgar.
“We decided to go straight to the community… so we have a clear path forward,” said Cr Brendan Kingwill.
The sale of the Trafalgar Business Centre, the adoption of the Trafalgar Structure Plan, and the development of the second oval will be key discussion points, however, Councillor Brendan Kingwill was keen to ensure that the session will be “driven by the community.”
“This is all about giving people in the community a direct chance to give input rather than hearing about the current plans.”
Cr Kingwill said it would be important to hear from community groups and clubs as well as the wider public.
“We [need to] make sure that the major stakeholders in Trafalgar are personally invited to make sure we get all the right people in the room at the right time and bounce ideas off people and get a plan going forward,” he said.
Cr Adam Sheenan is also “very excited” to meet with the community and “hear what’s on their minds face-to-face.”
Council will also seek community feedback at the event on the proposed upgrade of the kindergarten in Contingent Street, options to maximise use of the community centre, and playground equipment renewals.
“I’m hopeful to get a clear and strategic plan for Trafalgar and am looking forward to some good outcomes,” said Cr Kate Wilson.
Council is excited to engage the community and encourages locals to attend the event to help inform council decision-making moving into the future.
Registration details will be available on council’s website closer to the date – www.bawbawshire.vic.gov.au
