The Boroondara Community Plan is our guiding strategy. It helps Council to plan, make decisions and allocate resources to ensure we deliver on what our community tells us is most important

Every 4 years, we check in with the community and renew the plan to make sure it continues to reflect your current and future needs and priorities.

The plan includes our:

• 10-year Community Vision
• Council Plan
• Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plan.

The Community Plan informs everything we do, including our annual budgets, strategies, policies and actions.

We ran workshops with 156 people who:

• explored stage 1 consultation results to understand what the community wants Council to focus on
• engaged with Council staff about Council's responsibilities
• worked together to identify the community’s priorities for the next 10 years
• considered different scenarios for spending more, less or the same on essential infrastructure and worked in groups to select their preferred scenarios
• worked together on a Community Vision statement.

Workshop participants were randomly selected to represent Boroondara’s diversity, across different age groups, suburbs and gender identities.

Thank you to everyone who participated.

Stage 1 of consultation (July and August 2024)

More than 5,000 people responded to a short survey when we asked community members to tell us what they think Council should focus on over the next 10 years.

The survey was available online, at face-to-face events, on paper and over the phone.

We met with our community at over 70 events and pop-ups between 1 July and 16 August 2024.
