There are a number of opportunities for residents to get involved in the planning process, including becoming part of the steering committee or attending community information gathering forums.
Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor Jenny Houlihan said Council was seeking a number of people to form the steering committee.
"Community members will also be able to have their say via a survey, or at a coffee and conversation session to be held over the coming weeks," Cr Houlihan said.
"Our Community Planning staff are also available to attend meetings with specific groups in the community, such as sporting clubs or other community groups to capture their ideas for Congupna.
"I encourage people to get involved in the planning process and help shape the future for Congupna."
A survey is available online via Council's website www.greatershepparton.com.au and from the Congupna General Store and Congupna Primary School.
Feedback from the survey will be received until Friday 2 September 2013 and can be made the following ways:
- Post: ‘Congupna Community Plan' Locked Bag 1000, Shepparton VIC 3632
- Online: https://www.research.net/s/congupnacommunityplan or council@shepparton.vic.gov.au
- In Person: In a feedback box at Congupna General Store
Come along to the Congupna General Store ‘Coffee and Conversation' and help to add to the Ideas Wall (while enjoying a free cup of tea or coffee).
- Friday 16 August 3.00 - 4.30pm
- Friday 23 August 7.30 - 9.00am

All of the ideas will be captured and then community members are encouraged to attend a priority setting forum to prioritise the ideas raised. This forum will be held in the first week of September.
