The Formartine Community Planning Group was established in 2006, bringing together representatives from the organisations, services and communities who are active within the local area. The administrative area covers 319 square miles with over 39,000 residents. Formartine is further broken down into three Wards, Turriff and District, Mid-Formartine and Ellon and District, covered by eleven Elected Members. The CPG is facilitated by Aberdeenshire Council, with partners including the Formartine Partnership, Aberdeenshire CVS Central and South, Grampian Fire and Rescue Service, NHS Grampian, Grampian Police, Community Safety and representatives from local communities. Since 2008 the Formartine CPG has worked towards the aims and objectives set out in the Local Community Plan.
