What Will The New Norm Look Like?
A very thoughtful article in the Age today “what will the new normal look like?”
By Bill Kusznirczuk, highlights the opportunities that the Corona Pandemic presents for regional towns and cities. People have gotten used to working away from the office, many will seize the opportunity to make tree or sea changes. The planners with the local councils need to move fast to ensure that towns under their control are liveable and desirable destinations for this new breed of refugee.
Things like ensuring “Fibre to the home” Internet, good postal and courier services and the icing local businesses will attract new residents. The housing development opportunities need to be in place and planning processes streamlined.
Question is, can Baw Baw, South Gippsland and Latrobe Shire Councils rise to the challenge?
