Residents in the Southern Grampians Shire are encouraged to share their experiences and ideas about community life and volunteering in the region.

Member for Western Victoria Jaala Pulford has put out an invitation for residents to participate by taking a survey that will help better support the state’s fast-changing and growing volunteering sector.

The strategy will also be informed by workshops and meetings in regional areas right through until 2020 next year.

With hundreds of the region's residents participating in volunteering each year they are encouraged to complete the online survey.
