Council Plan and Community Vision

This Council Plan 2025 - 2029 outlines the strategic direction that Council will take over the next four years as we start the journey towards our Community Vision 2030.

Background

The 2025-2029 Council Plan was adopted by Councillors on Wednesday 25 June 20025.

 

Strategic objectives

  1. Healthy, inclusive and safe communities;
  2. A dynamic and resilient local economy;
  3. Places and spaces that meet the needs of our many and varied communities; and
  4. Council that engages and adapts.

The Council Plan sets out the actions and activities that will be used to achieve five priorities for each strategic objective. We will measure our performance against each objective through specific Council indicators. We will also monitor certain measures which fall outside of the control of Council, but influence Council’s performance against its strategic objectives.

Community Vision 2030 

We carried out comprehensive community consultation between December 2020 and March 2021 to hear your thoughts about life in Moorabool Shire in 2030.

We ran a series of activities such as an online survey, phone interviews, consultation with schools and virtual workshops. More than 450 people participated in the community engagement activities. As a result of the engagement program we identified five key themes and constructed a Vision Statement that is realistic and inclusive.

Key themes 

Maintaining our rural charm, connected communities, well-planned neighbourhoods, embracing sustainability and a strong local economy.

Community Vision 2030 statement

“We embrace our natural environment and lifestyle options to create an inspiring place for everyone to live, work and play."

 INTEGRITY                  I say what I mean and always do what’s right.

CREATIVITY                 I consider situations from multiple angles and perspectives.

ACCOUNTABILITY       I have the courage to make decisions and take ownership of their outcomes.

RESPECT                     I seek to understand and treat people how I would like to be treated.

EXCELLENCE              I take calculated risks to seek out better ways of doing things.       

 

These values translate to the acronym I CARE.

I CARE / WE CARE forms the basis of community and organisational communications and branding for the period of this plan.
