Moyne Shire Council - 2025-29 Council Plan Community Engagement Session - Mortlake

Setting the path for the next four years 

Moyne Shire Council is currently developing a new Council Plan. This is the key strategic document that will guide Council’s actions over the next four years. It will outline what we want to achieve in that time and how we will go about doing it. 

The new Council Plan will be driven by the long-term aspirations of the Community Vision 2040. It will lay out strategic objectives, priority actions, and indicators for tracking our progress.  

Having your say 

The community’s input is essential to developing the new Council Plan. Your aspirations will guide what goes into the Plan and shape how Council deploys its resources over the next four years. 

There are a number of ways you can be involved: 

1) Complete the community survey 

Fill out the online survey below to share your thoughts on challenges and priorities for Moyne over the next four years. The survey will be open until 2 February 2025.  

You can also visit any of the libraries, the Visitor Information Centre in Port Fairy, or Council customer service points for access to the online survey or to collect a hard copy.  

2) Chat with a Council officer  

Council officers will be popping up across the Shire over the coming weeks to hear from our community and support community members in completing the survey. Keep an eye out for them in the street and at events.  

3) Participate in a community workshop 

Finally, members of the community can participate in one of three deliberative workshops. These facilitated sessions offer the opportunity for more in-depth engagement and exploration. The workshops will take place: 

• Friday 31 January 2025, 2:00-5:00pm at Reardon Theatre in Port Fairy  

• Saturday 1 February 2025, 9:00am–12:00 pm at Mortlake Library in Mortlake, and 

• Saturday 1 February 2025, 2.00–5.00 pm at Koroit Theatre in Koroit. 

Community input gathered through all these activities will be collated and used to guide the development of the new Council Plan. 

If you're unable to attend one of these community workshop events, we invite you to submit your feedback to the 2025-29 Council Plan and Budget 2025–26 Council Budget and long-term financial planning framework here: https://engage.moyne.vic.gov.au
