Why should you contribute?

Over the past few years the Cessnock community has made many significant contributions to the preparation of a broad range of planning documents. You have told us what is important and what could be improved in your area. This input and information has not been lost, rather it has informed Position Papers around five broad themes which are available to view on this website . This will be used as the starting point for consultation on the Cessnock 2020 Community Plan.

Your thoughts and suggestions are needed to identify the major challenges and issues confronting Cessnock over the next 10 years. We also want to know any suggested strategies that may help address those major challenges.

Detailed here are the dates of the interactive community workshops which have been organised for eight locations across the local government area. We would be very pleased if you would come to the workshops and let us know what is important to you for the future of the Cessnock LGA.
