Golden Plains Shire Council Mayor Cr Brett Cunningham encouraged community members to attend one or more workshops.
Council is delighted to be partnering with NPT to deliver these workshops which will provide exciting opportunities for likeminded residents to explore community engagement methods.
Golden Plains Shire is home to many community-minded people who identify, design and implement projects in their community, and these workshops will help support the best implementation of those visions.
The Community Capacity Building Workshops are running in conjunction with Council’s Community Planning Program, which enables local residents to create a shared vision for their local community and build on the connection between communities and local government.
