Darebin City Council: Have Your Say

In 2021, Darebin City Council joined forces with the community to develop Darebin’s 20-year Community Vision, Council Plan 2021-25 (incorporating the Health and Wellbeing Plan), and other important forward-looking strategies.

In 2024, the council is reviewing the Vision to ensure it continues to reflect the community’s priorities for Darebin.

Darebin council is also creating the next four-year Council Plan. With a strong emphasis on health and wellbeing, this plan will be shaped by the priorities, needs, and values of the community and will guide long-term financial planning.

Visit Your Say prior to 1 September to find out more and to provide feedback.
