Developing our Council Plan 2025-2029

Our community has spoken, and we’ve listened.

The Council Plan sets out our direction for the next four years, focusing on four key priorities:

• Community Wellbeing,
• Natural Environment,
• Economy and Tourism, and
• Infrastructure and Place.

The draft Council Plan 2025–2029 is built on the voices of more than 2,000 people from across the Rural City of Wangaratta. Through workshops, surveys, pop-ups and conversations with community groups, businesses, service providers and staff, we gathered over 3,200 pieces of feedback. It incorporates our Municipal Health and Wellbeing Plan, and reflects our Community Vision 2045.

These insights have also shaped the draft Asset Plan, and draft Financial Plan, each reflecting what matters most to our community.
