Dubbo Regional Council (DRC) is undertaking planning for the 2025-2029 Delivery Program, which will outline the key focus areas Council will deliver on for the community.
Consultation with the community will start from late October with sessions designed to capture feedback and insights that will influence the direction of the next program. The 2025-2029 Delivery Program is one part of Council’s Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework.
“There will be a number of community consultation sessions over the coming months where members of the community can share their thoughts and help shape the direction of the next four years for our region,” Dubbo Regional Council Mayor Josh Black said.
“It is important we hear from the community about what they would like to see Council focusing on, so this next delivery program can continue to be a community-driven path forward.”
There will be over 15 community consultation sessions with the first sessions being held from Wednesday 30 October – Friday 1 November 2024.
“We want to hear from the community about essential services, what our future focus should be for our region, housing, community services and programs that support our region in thriving for the future,”
“It is important that we support the continual growth and development of the area as well as the people who call our region home.”
During the consultation process housing will be a strong focus to help develop a specific housing strategy that will support future growth.
“Council has been successful in receiving an Australian Government grant to support the establishment of a strategic plan to manage housing growth and to meet the future needs of our community. We would encourage community members to register to participate in the consultation sessions and share their ideas for housing for our region,” Clr Black said.
The community consultation sessions will be conducted by external consultant Delos Delta with the support of Council staff members.
