Strategic Questions
1. What is the potential in this region that can fuel the
growth and development needs of District that should
be prioritised?
2. What must we start doing, stop doing, or do
differently, if we are going to make measurable
progress in both growth and development in the next
five years?

thoughtful, committed citizens can change
the world. - Indeed, it’s the only thing that
ever has.” Margaret Mead
