📍 Nobody knows Deepwater like the people who live here.

The Deepwater Masterplan is one of the first major projects to come from the Glen Innes Highlands Precincts and Activation Strategy, building on community-led work already undertaken across the region. The Masterplan will help shape a practical vision for Deepwater's future, with local knowledge guiding every step of the process.

Residents, businesses, community groups and visitors are invited to get involved through a series of informal drop-in sessions on 7 and 9 September, exploring topics such as moving around Deepwater, visitor facilities, events and regional promotion, and the future of the Deepwater River.

☕ Save the date: Join us for a free Community Afternoon Tea & Workshop on Sunday 27 September, 3pm to 5pm at the Deepwater School of Arts Hall. Hear what the community has shared so far and help shape the priorities for the Masterplan. Everyone is welcome. Please RSVP to assist with seating and catering.
