Social Plan
Last modified: June 3, 2009 - 12:10 AM
The Social Plan was developed by Temora Shire Council in response to changes of the NSW Local Government Act.
The development of the Temora Shire Council Social Plan is based upon the principles essential to effective social planning:
- being community focused, concerned with meeting community needs and aspirations by working with the community;
- being multi-disciplinary, recognising the inter-relationships between issues, the difficulty of tackling issues in isolation, and the importance of a variety of skills and;
- being cooperative and negotiating, acknowledging that neither Council nor other governments can deal with complex issues through acting in isolation.
Key outcomes of the Temora Shire Council Social Plan include:
- enhancing community identity and spirit
- providing services and facilities effectively
- building community self-help and participation
- creating supportive places to live and work
- sharing the costs and benefits of community life equitably
- ensuring access for all to community goods thereby increasing social justice and promoting a fairer community, and
- developing co-operative action between the three spheres of government, the community and private sector and the community itself (Menzies, 1996).
