Stage two of the Hepburn Together Project is currently underway.
Council's 10-Year Community Vision and 4-Year Council Plan are important tools to establishing our goals, aspirations and priorities.
Mayor, Cr Lesley Hewitt, said while it is a legislative requirement that Council develop these strategic documents, it wants these documents to be community driven.
“We are consulting widely with the community to develop these documents. We’re listening to feedback so that they reflect our community’s aspirations,” said Cr Hewitt.
Council has already facilitated five community pop-up sessions in our larger townships. Another 10 sessions are coming to smaller hamlets around the Shire over the coming two weeks. Dates, times and locations can be found at - https://participate.hepburn.vic.gov.au/hepburn-together.
For community members preferring to provide feedback online, an online survey and interactive social map tool is available. There’s also a visioner tool which asks the community what we value now and what change do you want to see in the future.

The survey closes 19 March 2021.
