Howqua / Macs Cove
The people of the Howqua and Macs Cove areas started their community plans with 2 get-togethers held in early June.
Over 70 people attended the get-togethers and enthusiastically shared their thoughts and ideas with each other and with Council officers who collected the information to go into a survey which will assist create a profile of the community and define those things that are most important.

Howqua Macs Cove community planning survey 2011.
A second get-together is planned for Sunday 7 August at Willowlake starting at 2pm. At this gathering, the results of the survey will be reviewed and those present will be involved in selecting which ideas and projects will go into the draft plan. The draft plan will then be made available for review and once feedback is received and the plan finalised it will be launched by the community and tabled with Council.
However, bringing a community plan to life is up to the community - the more people who get on board and can help with the different projects, the quicker and easier each project becomes.
