Final document presented to Council in late 2025.
The Koondrook Local Development Strategy will support the town’s transition from the dependence on the native forest timber industry and towards new and sustainable industries.
The State Government provided Koondrook with $500,000 from its Community Development Fund in mid-2024 to assist with this transition process, with Council and the community working with Urban Enterprise and a local advisory group to see this project come to fruition.
As part of the development of the strategy, residents were able to complete a five-minute survey during late 2024 that enabled people to:
- Outline the strengths of Koondrook as a place to live, work and visit;
- Identify main opportunities for local economic development;
- List key issues and barriers for local economic development and growth; and
- Highlight any specific projects, infrastructure and/or facilities that will contribute to a more diverse and innovative local economy.
Opportunities to complete the surveyor or to discuss ideas with Urban Enterprise also occurred at three pop-up events.
This feedback influenced the development of the KoondrookLocal Development Strategy, which was presented to the December 2025 Council meeting. To view the document, please click here.
