Merrigum Community Plan - 5 Year Review Survey

The Merrigum Community Plan was developed in 2006 and reviewed in 2012 based on extensive community consultation that identified and prioritised an array of projects and activities that were important to the future of the area. It’s now time to revisit the priority projects and activities of the original plan with new ideas and suggestions for the future.
We invite you to complete the survey below to help guide our priority projects and activities for the next 5 years.
Some actions accomplished in the last 5 years include:
- Town entry signs
- Ticket box at the entrance to the Recreation reserve
- Wayfinding sign including historical information at the Bus Stop
-Walking track behind the Recreation Reserve

Each project identified by the Community will require further research, planning, design and potential fundraising by the community. All projects need to be driven by the community, with community members taking responsibility towards contributing to actions.

Please complete Survey by Thursday 29th of March and return to:

- Merrigum Post Office

- Merrigum Cafe
