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

In 2024, we’re reviewing the Vision to ensure it continues to reflect your priorities for Darebin. We want you to tell us if it still feels right or if we need to shift our focus.

Darebin 2041 Community Vision

  • Darebin is an equitable, vibrant and connected community.
  • Darebin respects and supports First Nations People, values country, our diverse communities and places.
  • Darebin commits to mitigating the climate emergency, creating prosperity for current and future generations.

We're also creating our next four-year Council Plan - our promise to the Darebin community. With a strong emphasis on health and wellbeing, this plan will be shaped by your priorities, needs, and values, and will guide our long-term financial planning.

Your input will be crucial in helping us decide where to focus resources and efforts to best support our community.

Economic pressures impacting Council's financial sustainability mean we must ensure we deliver the projects and priorities that matter most to our community, while managing our budget responsibly.
