With a newly elected Council we now have the opportunity to revisit our vision. We consulted with community throughout April 2025 to check whether the Vision it is still relevant, aligned to current community needs and supported.

Whittlesea 2040: a place for all is our long long-term vision for the City of Whittlesea. It guides the work we do and the decisions we make, from daily operations to future partnerships with the community and others.

Thank you to everyone who shared feedback through our Community Vision review either in-person at a community-based pop-up, online through the Engage Whittlesea platform or as part of our Community Focus Group. The feedback and community recommendations will be considered as we review our Community Vision and will help to shape our new Community Plan.

We will share the final Community Vision once it is adopted by Council and encourage you to follow the project Engage page to be kept up to date as the project progresses.

The Community Vision is underpinned by five strategic goals, each with a separate strategy that outlines Council’s commitments, the outcomes we strive for and the actions we will deliver for our community.

Select each goal below to learn more.

The Community Vision was developed through:

• 📋 Community Research
• 🗣️ Extensive community engagement with over 4,000 individuals
• 👥 Engagement of community groups and organisations
• 📝Workshops and surveys with members of the community and Council to identify priorities.

Extensive feedback helped shape the Whittlesea 2040 vision, and all these insights are summarised in our Community Engagement Summary Report.

You can read more information about how we created the vision on our website.
