CLOSED: This survey has concluded.
The 2025-2029 Council Plan, which will serve as Councils key guiding document to shape priorities, services and investment across the Shire, was developed through extensive community engagement with Southern Grampians residents.
The key pillars for focus include Social and Community; Business, Economy and Tourism; Community Infrastructure and Assets; Environment; and Leadership and Government. Across each of these pillars, Council has embedded strategic objectives, guided by feedback from the community, as well as indicators which will help us measure progress across the four years of the plan.
Whether you contributed during the development phase or if this is your first engagement, please review the draft plan and share your thoughts and ideas.
Have we missed anything? Is there anything you feel strongly about that hasn’t been included?

What should we prioritise over the next four years?
The Council Plan is a four-year strategic planning document that reflects where the Council (and community) wants to be by the end of the four-year term. The Council Plan sets out how Council will achieve those outcomes.
Councils are also required to prepare a Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plan (MPHWP). This plan identifies what Council intends to achieve regarding improving health and wellbeing. This term, Council has elected to combine these two documents into one.
Council is seeking your views to inform this plan.
