What do you want Wellington to be like in 2050?

About Future Wellington

We are reviewing our Community Vision and long-term plans that guide our direction and priorities. The Community Vision 2031, created in 2008 and regularly reviewed, outlines what our community wants Wellington Shire to look like in the future. We have been working towards this vision along with our Council Plan 2021-2025. Now, we want to make sure this vision still matches your goals and priorities. View the current plans below.
