Have Your Say on Creativity, Play, and Active Travel for Young Children

Wellington Shire Council is seeking input from parents and guardians of young children to help shape future programs and initiatives that will make the most of existing places and spaces focusing on:

🎨 Creativity – Access to arts, culture, and creative activities for young children.
🚶‍♂️ Active Travel – Encouraging walking, cycling, and other active ways to get around.
Play – Promoting the importance of play for children’s learning, development, and wellbeing.

We want to hear from you! Your experiences, ideas, and challenges will help guide how we plan for and invest in activities that support young children across the Shire.

Engaging Young Children

In addition to hearing from parents and guardians, we will also be engaging young children directly through selected kindergartens. Their voices and ideas will help shape these projects, ensuring they reflect what children enjoy and need most.

We want to hear from you and the youngest residents of Wellington to make sure future programs make the most of our spaces and places. This will help our youngest community members create, play and be active!
