The development of this plan is part of a journey that looks to establish a path of continuous improvement for the Council in partnership with the community. The past four years has been filled with change with a wide variety of challenges; threats to merge, a need for increased resources to ensure sound community amenity and changes to the economic framework of Weddin. Weddin 2026 seeks capture these changes and to ‘bring us together’ and help create the picture of what we want Weddin to be like in the future, based on extensive community partnership. From 2012 to 2017 community input has been recurrent where participation and contribution was positive and productive, with the end result a community strategic plan, Weddin 2026: Bringing Us Together, which provides the blueprint for sustaining Weddin into the future. The overall purpose of the community strategic plan is to: • Reflect on what we have achieved and describe where we are now; • Describe the preferred future; • Describe the values to guide future choice and how we will work together as a community; • Outline the strategic outcomes that achieve the preferred future; • Provide a long-term focus for decision making and resource allocation – finances, workforce and asset management; • Provide a basis for measuring our progress; • Provide opportunities for community participation in decision making; and, • Address social, economic, environmental and civic leadership issues. While we all have a role to play as a community in achieving Weddin 2026, Council is one stakeholder within the mix and cannot (and should not) undertake everything. Council will always endeavour to move forward on the areas we are able to complete, but there are many other groups and organisations which will be able to work on the strategic outcomes of the plan and our future. There is a requirement to review the Community Strategic Plan every four (4) years. Weddin 2026 seeks to validate the work achieved in the 2013-2023 Community Strategic Plan (the base CSP which is available on Council’s website – refer to http://www.weddin.nsw.gov.au/Media/WeddinShireCouncil/Council/Adopted_Community_ Strategic_Plan_2013-2023.pdf) and identify those actions completed or currently underway while adding new actions and commitments that will foster sustainability into the future. The community input into the base plan undertaken four (4) years ago is still valuable and has since been supported by a wide variety of community engagement as set out in Weddin 2026.

  • 'Soils' and 'Vegetation'?
    Is there a close association between ‘soils’ and ‘vegetation’? A case study from central western New South Wales M.O. Rankin1, 3, W.S Semple2, B.W. Murphy1 and T.B. Koen1 1 Department of Natural Resources, PO Box 445, Cowra, NSW 2794, AUSTRALIA 2 Department of Natural Resources, PO Box 53, Orange, NSW 2800, AUSTRALIA 3 Corresponding author, email: [email protected] Abstract: The assumption that ‘soils’ and ‘vegetation’ are closely associated was tested by describing soils and vegetation along a Travelling Stock Reserve west of Grenfell, New South Wales (lat 33° 55’S, long 147° 45’E). The transect was selected on the basis of (a) minimising the effects of non-soil factors (human interference, climate and relief) on vegetation and (b) the presence of various soil and vegetation types as indicated by previous mapping. ‘Soils’ were considered at three levels: soil landscapes (a broad mapping unit widely used in central western NSW), soil types (according to a range of classifications) and soil properties (depth, pH, etc.). ‘Vegetation’ was considered in three ways: vegetation type (in various classifications), density/floristic indices (density of woody species, abundance of native species, etc.) and presence/absence of individual species. Sites along the transect were grouped according to soil landscapes or soil types and compared to vegetation types or indices recorded at the sites. Various measures indicated low associations between vegetation types and soil landscapes or soil types. Except for infrequent occurrences of a soil type or landscape, any one soil type or landscape was commonly associated with a number of vegetation types and any one vegetation type was associated with a number of soil landscapes or soil types.

Weddin Shire Council has seen significant change over the last four years since it developed its first Community Strategic Plan (2013-2023), Delivery Plan and Operational Plan. This Plan reflects these changes. The new Plan is a requirement of the NSW Government and assists the community in better understanding where we are and how we can get to a sustainable future that best meets the whole of community needs. The Weddin Community values its independence and sense of place. Since 2012, the community has continued to express a strong commitment to remaining as an independent Council and improving community amenities so that skills and resources can continue to be attracted to Weddin. In doing so, Weddin embraces the opportunity to work with neighbouring and regional councils and a broad range of government bodies so services can be more efficiently and effectively delivered through a broadly collaborative and inclusive plan.
