What do you want Wellington to be like in 2050?
About Future Wellington
Wellington Shire Council is in the process of reviewing our Community Vision and long-term plans that guide the direction and priorities of our community. Our current Community Vision 2031, which was initially created in 2008 and has been regularly reviewed, reflects what our community envisions for the future of Wellington Shire. We have been working towards this vision alongside our Council Plan 2021-2025. Now, we want to ensure this vision aligns with the evolving goals and priorities of our community. You can view the current plans below:
Wellington 2031 Community Vision
Council Plan 2021-25
Healthy Wellington 2021-25 (Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plan)
Financial Plan 2021-22 to 2030-31
Asset Plan 2021-25

What’s next
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed their ideas and aspirations during the first stage of Future Wellington. Your input is helping shape the future of our communities.
As we move forward, the next stage involves a publicly advertised Expression of Interest (EOI) process in October 2024, which will be used to form a Community Representative Group. This group, consisting of 30 passionate community members, will reflect the diverse demographics of Wellington Shire. Their role will be to delve into the feedback gathered during the July-August 2024 ‘stage one’ consultation period and draft the new Community Vision and priorities to inform the Council Plan and other plans. These include a refreshed Community Vision led by the local community, the 2025-2029 Council Plan, the 10-year Asset Plan, the 10-year Financial Plan, and the Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plan.
Join the ‘Future Wellington Think Tank’
We invite you to be part of this critical work. The Community Working Group, currently known as the ‘Future Wellington Think Tank,’ will play a vital role in crafting recommendations that will guide our long-term planning and shape key decisions for Wellington Shire up until 2050. The EOI process to join the Think Tank will be open via a form below from 28 October to 17 November 2024. This group will draft the new Community Vision and priorities to inform the 2025-2029 Council Plan, and several crucial sub-plans. Together, these documents will chart the course for our community’s growth, wellbeing, and success.
Transparency matters
We are committed to fairness and transparency throughout this process. As part of the EOI, we’ll be sharing the selection criteria and expectations for the Future Wellington Think Tank to ensure that the group is representative of our diverse community—across locations, ages, genders, disabilities, sexual orientations, ethnicities, languages, and relationships.
