Approximately 40 participants gathered in the Goulburn Ovens Tafe in Seymour this morning to participate in the 'Seymour We Want' planning day.
A pledge book was circulated and all participants were encouraged to write their commitment to Seymour in the book. The pledge could be as small as painting a fence or giving an hour of time as a volunteer.
Marc deLandes, from Berry Street Victoria and Seymour resident, opened the proceedings by welcoming everyone to the days sesssion, thanking everyone in attendance for their commitment and reminding people how far they had come form the original idea about the 'Seymour We Want' many years ago.
Marc pointed out the large number of contributions that had been made by Seymour community members over the course of the week, by making contributions to an "ideas wall" that was based in a local shop-front and encouraging community members to write down to their comments, concerns and ideas for a better Seymour.
Renee' Laan, Community Develeopment coordinator, detailed the overwhelmingly constructive feedback from the community, including education and training needs, economic needs, social, cultural and environmental needs.
