POSITIVES ES

  • Coordinator appointed to implement Strategy;
  • Kororoit Creek Regional Strategy Steering Group

formed;

  • Local Masterplans implemented;

implemented; and

NE NEGATI TIVES

  • Funding was from Local Government Sustainability

fund.

  • Coordinator directed by Hobsons Bay Council Officer

because Hobsons Bay procured funding

  • Steering Group was not involved in developing

programs, policies, planning and implementation.

  • Steering Group members reported on ongoing

activities, not new programs to be implemented

  • Coordinator lost direction when Hobsons Bay

Officer left the Council

  • Ongoing funding for Coordinator not sought.
  • Steering Group left too late to find alternative

funding & lost direction.
