FAQs
What is visioning?
Visioning is a tool that brings people together to develop a shared vision of the future. It helps outlines the aspirations, goals, and values of a community, and serves as a guide for the community's future development and growth.
Why did this project happen?
In the past, we’ve had conversations with the community about a range of projects happening in the area. Through these conversations we heard the community wanted to develop a shared vision and plan for the future of their community. We’ve listened and worked with the community to establish a vision and plan for Mount Kembla and Kembla Heights.
What was the process for developing the vision and plan?
A series of workshops, targeted stakeholder meetings and one on one conversations were held to understand the aspirations of the Mount Kembla and Kembla Heights communities.
The information gathered from the community shaped the Vision, guiding principles and proposed actions for the ‘Kembla Vision - A Plan for the Future’. This input was integral in ensuring the future direction is one that reflects the community’s aspirations.
How is this related to the mountain bike track network project?
The Mountain Bike Track Network Project has been underway since 2015 and is being progressed separately by NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service with support from Council. The feedback received during previous engagements on this project is informing plans for the design and construction of the tracks and supporting infrastructure, with the aim of minimising impacts on residents and creating a safe and accessible riding experience.
How is the project being funded?
The Kembla Community Visioning project is funded by the Dendrobium Mine in partnership with Council.
