Volunteering

As part of the Community Strategic Plan, Council is resolved to investigate ways to harness the capacity of community groups to achieve common objectives, as well as develop and implement a strategy to increase volunteerism in the community.

It is a focus of Council to facilitate volunteerism to assist Council with provision and maintenance of facilities and to extend opportunities into new areas of endeavour and to provide a greater level of recognition for the significant contribution made by volunteers, by their participation in activities that are listed within the Community Strategic Plan.
