Shaping Whitehorse

Shaping Whitehorse: Council’s priorities for 2025 - 2029

Help shape Council’s major long-term community, health, assets and financial plans.

In March, we asked you to fill out a survey with your ideas for a Whitehorse you would be excited to live, work and play in.

Now that the survey has closed, we want to hear from you in our Community Panel.

Later this year, a new Council will be elected. The first important task will be for Council to develop and review a range of major plans that set the priorities for the next four years.

These plans affect everybody in Whitehorse. They guide the day-to-day work of Council as well as longer-term decisions. This includes things like the services Council provides, the buildings and facilities and works it invests in, and how it supports the health and wellbeing of the community and environment.

Your feedback will be used to check in with the Whitehorse 2040 Community Vision to confirm and ensure it still reflects the community’s hopes and aspirations for the future. This Vision was developed in 2020 by the Whitehorse community and is an important document that Council uses to guide its key plans.

This is your opportunity to share your ideas, so we can create a roadmap to 2029 that reflects community priorities and takes us closer to the Whitehorse 2040 Vision.
