Summary
What would you like Council to either achieve or maintain in the next four years?
Every four years, Council goes through an election of Councillors and soon after, those Councillors commit to four years of strategic direction and action. We're asking you to consider the 2025-2029 Council Plan. It incorporates the Municipal Health and Wellbeing Plan as well as providing the opportunity to review our Community Vision. This page outlines everything you need to know about the process and how to get involved.
Mansfield Shire Council Plan
A Council Plan is the key document that guides Council's decision making, allocation of resources and provision of services. It also articulates the role Council will play in leading, supporting and advocating for the best possible outcomes for Mansfield Shire. As legislated, each plan is set for a period of four years.
Mansfield Shire Vision
In 2020, Mansfield community designed a vision for its future: Mansfield Shire Vision 2040. A vision acts as a 'north star', guiding Council and community towards a shared understanding of what the future should be. As it underpins the Council Plan and Council decision making, the vision is reviewed every four years to ensure it remains a robust and powerful description of the future we want to see.
Deliberative Engagement
Both the Vision and Council Plan are to be reviewed through a 'deliberative engagement' process. Deliberative engagement means that community doesn't just have input but also decision-making power. This is not only a legislated requirement but is fully embraced by Council in its mission to design strategy 'by community, for community'.
How to get involved
There are lots of ways to be involved in the process depending on your interests and time:
Provide your thoughts on the Council Plan and Vision: - Express input (c. 1-2 minutes—see bottom of this page) - Quick survey(c. 5 minutes) - Deep-dive survey (c. 15 minutes) [Add link] Keep your eyes peeled for a range of popups across community over the coming weeks, too!
