What's happening in Wooragee?
Consultations took place in Wooragee throughout August and September. The Community Strengthening Team has met with businesses, individuals, and community groups to find out the unique strengths of Wooragee, and to gather project ideas for the Wooragee Community Plan.
A public meeting to prioritise the ideas put forward by the community was held on Tuesday October 25, and several passionate community members were involved. They decided on the following priorities:
- Purchase the 5 acres beside the Centenary Hall for future community use
- Improve mobile phone reception in the valley
- Establish a permanent 80km/hr zone in front of school strip
- Incorporate fire management into roadside management
A draft of the Wooragee Community Plan has been produced, and will be open for comment and feedback from Monday January 16 until Thursday, March 1. A copy of the draft plan can be downloaded below, and is also available from the Beechworth and Yackandandah shire offices, as well as at the Wooragee Primary School, and the Centenary Hall. Feedback can be mailed to Chris McGorlick, Community Strengthening Project Officer, 34 High Street Yackandandah, 3749, or via phone or email on the details below.
