Council Plan including our Community Vision - Nillumbik 2040
Every Victorian council is required to adopt a Council Plan within the first year of a new Council term, under the Local Government Act 2020.
The plan sets out Council’s strategic direction for the next four years, outlining how it will serve and support the people who live, work, visit and do business in the Shire.
The Council Plan 2025-2029 was developed through valuable contributions and input from the community, including a Community Panel.
The Council Plan is structured around four themes:
- Inclusive living and participation
- Liveable and connected communities
- Sustainable futures and healthy environments
- Responsible governance and community leadership
Each theme includes a vision and objective, and outlines how Council will work towards its objective and what Council will focus on.
The Plan responds directly to the community's long term aspirations outlined in our Community Vision.

Implementing the Plan
Each year, we put this Plan into action through an Annual Action Plan, which sets out what we will deliver that year. Progress is reported quarterly and in our Annual Report, helping us stay transparent and accountable. We also prepare an annual budget to support the delivery of the Council Plan. This outlines how we will fund our services and projects, making sure we balance community needs with financial sustainability.
An Annual Action Plan details the specific actions Council commits to delivering each year to achieve these objectives and strategies.

Community Vision - Nillumbik 2040
The Community Vision represents the shared aspirations of our community. Developed in partnership with the community, and subsequently adopted by Council in October 2021, the Vision guides Council's long term planning and decision making, ensuring we stay focused on the things that truly matter.

Community Vision - Nillumbik 2040
Community is at the heart of the Shire of Nillumbik. We work to keep our community engaged, connected, active and supported in a healthy, safe and sustainable environment.
Nillumbik’s places and spaces make an important contribution to health, wellbeing, culture, the environment, biodiversity and economic success. We continue to strengthen the Shire’s identity through reinforcing existing natural and built form, improving accessibility and connectivity, protecting the environment, and enhancing both the Green Wedge and tree canopy in urban areas.
We acknowledge the pressures on liveability that in the future will likely challenge the way we live. We continue to strengthen Nillumbik’s ability to manage and adapt to changing circumstances, to ensure the Shire and our community remain sustainable and resilient.
With the trust and support within our community, Council goes further to deliver fundamental services and innovative programs to facilitate the best possible community outcomes.
