The 'Community Roadmap Workshops' were hosted by the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal, which has committed $950,000 over the next four years to strengthening Junee's not-for-profit groups as part of the Investing in Rural Community Futures program.

The workshops were aimed at allowing the wider community to put forward projects to be considered for sections of the funding.

Junee councillor and program steering committee member Pam Halliburton said about 60 people turned out to the day session on Tuesday, with 30 attending a session in the evening.

"There was a wide selection of community organisations ... I was really pleased to see that," she said.

She said attendees were encouraged to identify five-year goals for the community and consider how multiple not-for-profits could work together to make it happen, which helped reinforce the necessity for the town's diverse group of community organisations to work together.

"That's part of the whole exercise of it, to work collaboratively and cooperatively," Cr Halliburton said.

She said two ideas gained significant support at the workshops, the first a "community hub".

While she said there were many ideas in the room as to what this would entail, a venue for not-for-profit groups to have shared access to computers and printing facilities, newcomers to town to go for information and for various educational sessions to be held received "fairly unanimous" support as a priority.

The second major idea was to commit about $50,000 to the Junee Community Power circular fund, allowing the purchase of solar panels for community buildings with future electricity savings re-invested in further cost-saving infrastructure.

Ideas raised at the workshops will go back to the steering committee for consideration in the coming weeks.
