Our Moree Plains, Our Vision to 2032
Moree Plains Shire Council is reviewing our Community Strategic Plan (CSP). The CSP is the highest-level plan that we prepare. The purpose of the CSP is to identify community priorities and goals for the future as well as plans to achieve those goals.
When we prepare the CSP, we need your help to answer four key questions:
1. Where are we now?
2. Where do we want to be in 10 years’ time?
3. How will we get there?
4. How will we know we have arrived?
To do this, we’re inviting you to share your thoughts, aspirations and priorities for the Moree Plains Shire for the next 10 years. We need you to help us draft a community vision and the strategies to get us there.
We also want to know who will help us achieve the community vision. While Council is the custodian of the CSP, it is first and foremost a community document and requires input and leadership from our community and business partners, as well as state and federal government agencies.
Why now?
The CSP is an aspirational document that is always looking 10 years ahead. After each Local Government Election, we review the plan with the community to reset our community priorities, our goals and our strategies for achieving them. This work guides all of Council’s remaining strategic and operational plans and strategies and our activities for the Council term.
What can I have a say on?
Creating a community vision for the CSP is one of the most important outcomes of the community engagement process. It sets the tone for the CSP and supports a sense of shared ownership and purpose.
While the elected Council is responsible for endorsing the CSP at a Council meeting, the community can influence:
• The community’s 10-year vision for Moree Plains
• The objectives and strategies of the CSP
• The role of Council, community, partners and agencies in meeting the community’s vision.

Kitchen table kits
We understand that some people might not feel comfortable talking in front of strangers in a public workshop. That’s why we’ve developed our kitchen table kits. These kits are designed to let you discuss and answer questions about the CSP from the comfort of your own home or workplace with friends, family, workmates or community group. To host a kitchen table discussion, download our kit or pick one up from Moree, Mungindi or the Mobile Library, Council Moree Office or the Dhiiyaan Centre.
