Background Information
Council owns and manages a diverse property portfolio across the Shire. These assets support service delivery, enable community programs, and contribute to Council’s long term financial sustainability.
To guide how these properties are used, maintained, and made available, Council has developed a new draft policy framework. This framework ensures our approach is strategic, transparent, and aligned with our long-term community goals.
Community Drop-In Sessions
During the public exhibition period, we're hosting two informal drop-in sessions for you to speak directly with Council staff. This is a great opportunity for you to ask questions, learn more about the policies, and provide your feedback.
There won't be any formal presentations, just a chance for you to have your questions answered and for your voice to be heard. These drop-in sessions will take place on Wednesday 9 July 2025 from 10am - 12noon and 4.30pm - 6.30pm in the Council Theatrette, Wingecarribee Shire Council’s Civic Centre, 68 Elizabeth Street, Moss Vale.

Your feedback is a way for you to share your thoughts and ideas on a particular issue or project. The goal is to make sure your voice and the community’s voices are heard and considered. It helps provide valuable insights, identify potential issues and suggest improvements. This way, decisions can be more inclusive, transparent and effective, reflecting what you and the community really needs and wants.
Responses to engagement projects are compiled and considered. When projects are reported to Council to make a decision a summary of community feedback will be included. Updates on projects will be included in these pages and elsewhere on Council's website.
Sometimes it takes some months to provide feedback to the community and to make a decision as further investigation is often needed. We are listening and we do take your suggestions on board!
