Wellington Shire Council has facilitated the development of this vision and will play a role in supporting the community to achieve it.

The original Wellington 2030 Strategic Vision was developed through community consultation in 2008, and was renewed in 2016 due to significant regional, national and global changes affecting the Shire and the impacts of these on our population.

This is our community vision for the future. The Wellington Shire Council Plan, prepared every four years will describe the action Council will take to help achieve this vision.

There are other groups and organisations who can also have a lead role in taking action.

All community members, community groups and organisations are encouraged to use 2030, reference it, share it and deliver action to achieve the vision.
