About Shaping Our Future Incorporated
A process designed to use collective community expertise to build consensus and create a great future for our district. Shaping Our Future was instigated in December 2010 and was incorporated as a charitable society in January 2013. In 2012 following a district wide visioning process, it established a draft vision incorporating a series of priorities. Its forums and taskforces are directed to work towards the vision and connect with the priorities. The process of community engagement on any given subject begins with public forums and online discussions which progress to establishing volunteer task forces to work through issues and provide recommendations. Recommendations are peer reviewed by the community before being presented to local and national agencies as required. Since 2011 Shaping our Future has completed 10 forum topics.
