Do have a plan for the future of Singleton?
If so, Singleton Council wants your submission for its Strategic Plan, which will outline Council's priorities over the next four years, and guide plans over the next decade.
The immediate plans, over the next four years, are expected to cost Council more than $100 million. But, despite the large sum, General Manager Jason Linnane said it's all costed.
"We expect to spend at least $100 million on managing and improving the array of assets that we manage on behalf of the community," he said.
"That includes our water and sewer assets, our roads and community facilities.
"The funding sources are many and varied; they include the rate revenue we receive, grants from state and federal governments, user fees and charges and also the other business activities of Council."
A community information drop-in session was held in April received and so far, more than 2,000 respondents, who gave feedback via surveys, social media and workshops.
"It's great to see threat level of interest continue during the public exhibition of the draft document, and I thank those people who attended the community drop-in session," Mr Linnane said.
Residents have until the Friday, April 28 to give their feedback.
The document can be viewed at Council's Administration Building, Singleton Library or on Council's website at www.singleton.nsw.gov.au.
