Important meeting for Islanders

IMPORTANT PUBLIC MEETING - Monday September 1 @ 7.30 p.m.

The next RICA meeting will be at 7pm Monday September 1  in the Raymond Island Community Hall.  Immediately following the meeting at approximately 7.30PM a public meeting will occur, chaired by an East Gippsland Shire Council representative, to which all Raymond Island residents and ratepayers are invited. During the public meeting, priorities will be set and action plans established for projects which are important to Raymond Islanders and which can be jointly pursued by Raymond Islanders and the Shire.

During community consultation in recent years when the Raymond Island Urban Design Framework and the Paynesville and District Community Plan were developed, a number of considerations and proposed projects were raised by Raymond Islanders. Attached are extracts from both of the documents. Please review these and come to the meeting prepared to reinforce the previous issues raised or raise new ones.  The Raymond Island Urban Design Framework complete document can be emailed to you on request. The Paynesville and District Community Plan is too large to email, but available on http://www.eastgippsland.vic.gov.au/Plans_and_Projects/Community_Planning/Paynesville_and_District

Printed copies of the relevant pages can be arranged for  those who are unable to access them.

This is an opportunity for Raymond Islanders and the Shire to review.
·         What has been achieved from the list of actions within the plan?
·         What has changed since the plan was endorsed by council?
·         With those changes in mind and what has been achieved, what are the key priorities to be addressed on Raymond Island?
·         Discuss how, who when etc…….

If Raymond Islanders want EGSC to help preserve what is important whilst pursuing appropriate projects, here is an opportunity to engage with the Shire.  

Please be there.


Cheers,
