The Snapshot Report is a communication tool that captures the voice of community. It summarises the values and ideas that were heard during the 14-day consultation. The Snapshot Report is a great way for those that did not attend to immerse themselves in the key takeaways for their village.  

While the Snapshot Report is not a verbatim document; the authentic insights collected via the online ‘Digital Conversations’ and in-person consultations aid short and medium projects, initiatives and service delivery.

A special thank you to the community-nominated visionaries that reviewed this document and helped to shape it to where it is now.
