After many months of preparation, we are now ready and able to keep the community up to speed with the progress on the Macedon/Mt. Macedon Community Plan. As a result of the public meeting held in November 2010 (with 73 passionate community members in attendance), a wide range of ideas and projects were developed, discussed and voted on as important for future development. Since then, a group of community volunteers have been coming together each month to work on developing a draft Macedon/Mt. Macedon Community Plan for you to review. The plan will be a major driver behind implementing the wishes of the community discussed at the public meeting. The group of volunteers created 4 sub-committee groups to focus on each of the top 4 priority projects that were voted for by the community at the public meeting. The top 4 priority projects are streetscape, planning controls, fire and transport. Youth was a 5th priority, though due to lack of resources, this area hasn't been developed yet. A communications group has also been formed to focus on keeping the community involved and up to date about the community planning process. This group will review how often the community want to be communicated to, when and how. The volunteer group, known as the Macedon/Mt. Macedon Community Planning Group (or CPG), meet on the third Monday of the month at 7pm at Tony Clarke Reserve. The community are always invited and new members are welcome to join.
