The community is known for its stunning natural beauty, friendly community spirit, strong public volunteerism and commitment to sustainability.

The District aims to retain its small-town, semi-rural character while undertaking significant strategic growth. Social services, infrastructure, lifestyle alternatives and recreational assets provide a diverse and resilient base for this sustained development.
