HAVE YOUR SAY

10-year Resilient Economy Roadmap

Hay and Carrathool shire councils are calling on community members to have your say, as they delve further into what makes our region unique and how we can future-proof our communities against economic challenges and extreme weather events. The Where are we now? Baseline Survey is for people who live, work or have a regular relationship with the Hay and/or Carrathool regions. “Whether you’re five or 95, we want to hear from every one of you. Your insights will help us sculpt a comprehensive understanding of our region, identifying key issues and hurdles that demand our attention and action.” The survey takes under 15 minutes to complete with responses to remain anonymous. It’s open now until 5.00pm on 31 May 2024. The move follows a dynamic series of workshops with more than 80 landholders and community members last month, which marked the community engagement kick-off of Hay and Carrathool councils’ 10-year Resilient Economy Roadmap initiative. The roadmap, to be delivered later this year, will outline practical actions councils, business, industries and communities can take over the next decade to diversify their economies while building resilience in the face of change and disruption. “We’ve had an enormous response to the roadmap so far, which tells us we have a strong network of leaders and champions who are passionate about our communities and the future of the region. “We can’t build this without you. Help us keep our communities strong now and set us up for an even brighter future. The survey is a perfect option for those who can’t attend an in-person workshop. Or why not do both!” A summary of findings will be published. The next round of in-person workshops will be held from the week starting 24 June 2024.
