- Summary
- As a short to medium term initiative for the communities of Otama, the community plan will: · Focus community debate and get people involved in making decisions and taking responsibility for our communities · Set direction and common goals, promote consensus and avoid division · Safeguard the community and the environment from exploitation · Capture all good ideas and identify initiatives suitable for external funding · Assist Community Board decision-making and allow more effective use of ratepayer funds · Ensure the small settlements are able to develop facilities that suit the area · Help avoid haphazard development · Help influence Thames Coromandel District Council’s programme of works during its annual and long-term planning processes · Show opportunities for individuals and groups to develop new projects and provide goods and services Reporting on this Plan each year will enable the community to record achievements and to check that the identified priorities are still correct. It will also be a chance to include new information and new ideas
