Murrindindi Shire Community Vision
What is a community vision?
Our 10-year Community Vision describes the long-term hopes, dreams and aspirations of the people of Murrindindi Shire. It is a shared statement of intent that belongs to both Council and the community - and it can only be realised through strong partnership, collaboration and shared action. Council is required to develop a Community Vision for a minimum of ten years under the Local Government Act 2020.
Murrindindi Shire 2035 Community Vision
Together, we are a vibrant rural community where everyone feels welcome and valued, young people see a future, every person is supported and empowered, and diversity is genuinely embraced. Our heritage and landscapes are celebrated, and our economy is thriving. We cherish all that makes this Shire unique.
Murrindindi is the destination of choice – to live, to visit, and to enjoy.
How was the 2035 Community Vision created?
As part of the community engagement for the Council Plan, we invited community members and stakeholders to review the 2021 Community Vision. The feedback was consistent and clear: while the original Vision had good intentions, it felt too long, too broad, and not quite like “us.”
People called for a Vision that was inspiring but grounded, something that spoke plainly, connected emotionally, and reflected the everyday realities and hopes of life in Murrindindi.
We listened.
The revised Vision is simpler, more meaningful, and more closely aligned with how our community sees itself and its future. It celebrates our strengths, acknowledges our challenges, and offers a shared direction for where we want to go, together.
