Over several months, Council has been asking the community to shape key strategic documents that provide direction toward community outcomes over the medium to long term.
The Council Plan 2025-2029 and Financial Plan 2025-2035 are now available online for community members to have their say, along with the Community Vision 2040, which has been reviewed.
Mayor Cr Steve Rabie thanked the community for their feedback and input on the documents.
"The Council Plan and the Financial Plan are the guidelines for how Council makes decisions over its term,” said Cr Rabie.
“We have asked and we have listened. These documents provide a strong basis for every Councillor to act according to what our community has said it wants over the four year period and beyond that.
“I am truly grateful for those who took the time to contribute to the community consultations. We had children participating during school holiday programs and building Lego examples of what they wanted our community to be at the Library. People gave up their time to participate in deliberative sessions. We had genuine and honest feedback from community members who really made an effort to think about how we can continue to deliver bang for your buck while delivering core Council services.
“We’ve listened and put together these key documents. Let us know if we’ve got it right.”
Feedback is open until 26 September at engage.mansfield.vic.gov.au/council-plan-community-vision.
