Northern Beaches Council has announced an initiative for residents and community groups to contribute to the future of the Northern Beaches.

Eleven Strategic Reference Groups (SRGs) will be established along three main themes – economic, environment and social.

Council aims to include a diversity of members and ensure geographical coverage of the region. Each SRG will comprise of 10 people from the five new wards, as well as five others from across the broader Council region. Their input will help develop the draft Community Strategic Plan.
