Have Your Say: Draft Council Plan 2025-2029
The Draft Council Plan 2025-2029 (the Draft Plan) has been developed in consultation with our community and is now on public exhibition until 5pm, Wednesday 28 May 2025.
The Draft Plan details the vision, goals and strategies to guide Council’s priority activities, decision making and service delivery over the next four-year period.
During 2024, community members and stakeholders were invited to contribute to the development of the Draft Plan through a range of engagement activities including: surveys, community Thinktank Sessions and community engagement activities at locations across the Shire.
The Draft Plan also incorporates the Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plan which focuses on improving the health and wellbeing of our community.
Community members are encouraged to read the Draft Plan and have their say by visiting goldenplains.vic.gov.au/consultations.
