    We want to hear from you!

    Following extensive consultation, Council is inviting the Wellington community to take a look at its draft of the Wellington Shire Council Plan 2021-25.

    Council has spent the past four months talking to members of our local communities in person and online about high-level priorities for the next four years.

    Following this consultation, the Council Plan focuses on the environment and climate change, economy and growth, liveability and wellbeing, services and infrastructure.

    Consultation is also opening for the draft Wellington 2031 Community Vision and draft 10 year Financial Plan and Asset Plan.

    Council staff will be back out in the community seeking your feedback in coming weeks, or you can engage with us online.

    Visit https://your.wellington.vic.gov.au/councilplan to find out where we will be and how you can tell us what you think!

    Stage one of our public consultation on the Council Plan, 2030 Vision and long term Asset and Finance Plans is complete! We spent two months travelling around Wellington Shire talking to community members about your ideas, thoughts and priorities for the future. We spoke to almost 600 people in person and another hundred people got in touch with us through Your Wellington, Your Say.

    We had a lot of fantastic feedback, with very clear themes coming through. All of the feedback provided has been collected and will be sorted and checked for privacy before being released back to the community during Stage 2. In July we expect to bring you draft plans to review. Watch this space!

    Please contact Council Plan Coordinator Bodye Darvill on 5142 3082 or bodyed@wellington.vic.gov.au if you have any questions in the meantime.

    Thank you to everyone who got involved and had your say!

    Footpaths have been a regular topic of conversation during the Council Plan community discussions.

    Did you know we have an Urban Paths Plan which details which footpaths will be built inside our towns over the next 20 years? You can find it here to see what's planned for your town: Urban Paths Plan

    Calling all community groups, businesses, service providers and local residents to share your ideas for the next 4 years!

    • What do you want to see changed in Wellington Shire?
    • What’s important to keep the same?
    • What are the main challenges we’re facing as a community?

    We’ll use what you say to influence a refresh of the 2030 Community Vision and to write the new 2021-25 Council Plan and the long-term Asset and Finance Plans.

    These documents all direct Council’s priorities and resource allocation for the next 4-10 years.
