Griffith City Council is encouraging residents, sporting clubs, community organisations and other Showground users to have their say on the future use, accessibility and management of the Griffith Showground.
A community survey is now open, giving residents the opportunity to share their experiences with the facility, identify future needs and provide feedback on how the Showground could better serve the community as Griffith grows.
Council is seeking feedback on current access and use, opportunities to improve utilisation of the Showground and whether existing management arrangements should be retained, improved or reconsidered.
“Currently, the Showground is situated on Crown Land and managed by the Griffith Showground Trust, which is made up of community volunteers who do a wonderful job with limited resources. The Trust operates as a separate entity to Griffith City Council,” said Mayor, Doug Curran.
“The Griffith Showground is an important community asset, and this consultation gives us an opportunity to hear directly from the people who use it, as well as those who have ideas about how it could be better utilised into the future.
“No decisions have been made about the future management of the Showground. At this stage, we want to understand what our community needs from the site and gather feedback that will help inform Council’s consideration of the options.
“The survey should take less than five minutes to complete, so I encourage everyone with an interest in the Showground to take the time to have their say.”
Residents are encouraged to complete the survey: https://connect.griffith.nsw.gov.au before 4pm on Wednesday, 2 December.
Following consultation, a report detailing the findings, community feedback and next steps will be presented to Council.
