Community Vision
Our shared Community Vision sets out how we want the Mornington Peninsula to look by 2040.
First developed in 2021, our Vision is reviewed every four years to ensure it continues to reflect our community’s aspirations and guide Council’s strategic planning.
Our strategic plans are now being developed following extensive community consultation. These plans work together to bring the Community Vision to life and will soon be available for review and feedback at mornpen.vic.gov.au/ourfuture.
