Eurobodalla - Towards 2042

We're reviewing Eurobodalla’s Community Strategic Plan to reflect the shire’s changing priorities and aspirations. During February and March 2024 we asked you to share your vision for Eurobodalla:

  • What makes our community a great place to live?
  • What are the main challenges facing our community?
  • What would you like to see achieved in our community in the next 10 years and beyond?

Feedback was received from residents, businesses and community groups in-person and online, with over 2,700 people (6.7 percent of the population) sharing their thoughts. These insights highlighted the natural environment, relaxed lifestyle, peace and quiet, clement weather, and supportive community as the strengths that make Eurobodalla a great place to live. The highest-ranking challenges are housing affordability and availability, improvements to infrastructure, better health services, and balancing development with the needs of people and the environment.

We compiled your feedback and updated our Community Strategic Plan to reflect these contributions. The revised plan is designed to encourage commitment to our future Eurobodalla and a sense of common purpose and responsibility.

The draft Eurobodalla Shire Draft Community Strategic Plan 2042 (2025 revision) was presented to Councillors at their 17 December 2024 meeting, and endorsed for a period of public exhibition between 13 January to 9 February 2025. During this period Eurobodallan's can provide feedback on the draft plan.

Next steps

Have we captured the community's aspirations for future Eurobodalla? You can read the draft plan here.

All feedback will be considered before we finalise the plan and present it to a Council Meeting for final endorsement.


Ways the community got involved

We asked Eurobodallan's to take a quick survey by Friday 15 March, or visit us at one of our pop-up sessions to put their ideas forward.

We also wrote to community groups and provided a discussion guide so groups could get together and provide their input.

Younger community members didn't miss out, we shared drawing sheets for them to share your big ideas too!

How has the Community Strategic Plan evolved?

We created our first Community Strategic Plan for Eurobodalla in 2010, and before each new term of Council we check in with our community to ensure the plan still reflects our hopes for the future. This review, we’re doing things a little differently. We used the same engagement tools and questions as other local Councils. This means we’ll update our own Community Strategic Plan while also contributing to a regional plan for matters common to all shires in our region.
