In the next edition of Moreton Living, council will be launching the Our Tomorrow Community Survey. Complete this survey online and you will
go into the draw for the fantastic t ravel p rize, while also helping to shape the regions future with your contribution. Council will use the views and opinions collected during the survey period to develop a community plan that reflects your values and what you like about where you live.
Spanning 10 years, the community plan will describe a vision for the future of the region in areas such as the environment, economy and community wellbeing. The community plan will then guide councils service delivery into the future. The information collected from the survey will provide
council with valuable feedback on what is important to local residents. The survey will also provide an opportunity for people to describe their vision for the Moreton Bay Region. So look out for more details and the survey in the next Moreton Living and help create Our Tomorrow.
