Pittsworth Community Growth Action Plan 

In 2015 a number of Community Growth Action Plans were developed.

Success for each community is best determined by the residents themselves, based on their aspirations, ideals and value systems.  In order to better understand what these are, Council facilitated a number of meetings with community members to draw out what issues each town is facing, identify what the potential solutions and opportunities might be and determine which ones should be focussed on as a priority. These have been documented in plans for five communities which can be found under the related document section.
