While the exhibition period for this document closed last week, I encourage all residents to keep a regular eye on our online community engagement hub, Your Say Wingecarribee.
This website contains all of council's current community engagement projects and allows residents the opportunity to share their suggestions, which can ultimately help shape our key projects.

At the moment we have several projects on public exhibition including our Playspace Strategy and Public Memorials Policy and Guidelines.
The Playspace Strategy details the future management of our shire's public playgrounds while the latter provides guidelines on the planting of memorial trees, statues and plaques in public reserves.
Starting today you can also provide feedback on our proposed long-term vision to turn Moss Vale's Lackey Park into a dedicated multi-discipline sporting precinct.
Our Your Say Wingecarribee website also provides a direct link to our Community Engagement Coordinator and Customer Service Team.
To learn more about current consultations, public exhibitions and major projects taking place across the shire, visit www.yoursaywingecarribee.com.au.
As for the draft 2020/21 Operational Plan and Budget? Staff are now busy collating the submissions received during the public exhibition period.
This feedback will be presented in a final report to councillors where they'll weigh up all the information before making a final decision.
