A shared vision for the Mornington Peninsula
Our Community Vision is the foundation for all Council planning. It describes the kind of future our community wants to create by 2040.
First developed in collaboration with the community in 2021, and reviewed in 2024, the Vision sets a long-term direction for the Peninsula, focusing on what matters most.
The Community Vision guides the Council Plan, health planning, financial planning, and everything in between. It’s reviewed every four years alongside the Council Plan to ensure it continues to reflect our community’s aspirations.
