Restoring landscapes across the Mount Alexander Region

Draft Castlemaine Community Plan – open for comment until 21 Aug 2015

Posted on 1 August, 2015 by Connecting Country

The Mount Alexander Shire Council has informed us that the final draft of the Castlemaine Community Plan is open for review.  CLICK HERE to see a copy of the draft plan.  Of particular relevance to Connecting Country is the section titled ‘In Balance with Nature’.

“Comments are invited on the draft before it is finalised and launched in a few months time.  All feedback is requested to be submitted by Friday 21 August 2015.”

 Feedback on the plan can be sent to  s.jones@mountalexander.vic.gov.au (prior to 10 August 2015) and g.atkin@mountalexander.vic.gov.au (between 10 and 21 August 2015).

Note:  This is Community Plan is a different document to the council’s Environment Strategy 2015-2015 that we have highlighted recently on this website.   The Environment Strategy was adopted by the councillor’s at their meeting on 28 July, with some amendments.  The amendments appear to increase the transparency of the review and evaluation process, and also increases opportunities for community contributions.  Further details are available in the ‘Unconfirmed’ Minutes of the council meeting (CLICK HERE to go to relevant section of their website, or CLICK HERE for a direct copy of the unconfirmed minutes).  At the time this blog went live, the final approved version of the Environment Strategy does not appear on their website.
