Top issues for Herberton residents

The most important issues identified by the community were:

1. More accommodation & support services for the elderly
2. Improved health services & facilities
3. Improved & more sport & recreation facilities (e.g. skate park, motorcross track, swimming pool, walking / bike paths)
4. Improved affordable public transport to other towns
5. Keep Herberton Council office open
6. More job opportunities required

This list priorities came about as part of two separate exercises. The first was a survey using both print and web based survey forms, the second resulted from a prioritisation exercise where participants chose to allocate dots against issues which are important to them.
