Tell us your priorities for the City of Whittlesea

The City of Whittlesea is asking residents for their views on their top priorities, to help inform planning for the future.  

The first phase of the annual Community Priorities consultation is now open and is designed to help Council understand what is important to our community and the areas they think funding should be focused on.  

The insights received from this survey will be used in the development of the 2026-27 Budget, Community Action Plan 2026-27 and the next iteration of our Strong Local Economy Strategy.  

Council’s annual budget outlines investment in the delivery of essential services and key infrastructure needed to support our growing community, while the Community Action Plan outlines what Council will focus on delivering as part of the second year of the Community Plan. The Strong Local Economy Strategy sets out how we will continue to build a prosperous and inclusive economy for our municipality.  

Council is looking to hear from our community about the priority areas they think funding should be directed towards and what services and assets you value most now and for the future. 

You can have your say online or at one of the many community pop-ups across the municipality. This first phase of consultation is open until 30 September 2025.  

Residents can also join a focus group to provide in-depth feedback and insights.  

To provide your feedback, view the locations of the in-person pop ups, or register your interest in being part of a focus group, visit engage.whittlesea.vic.gov.au/cp2026.

“I encourage our residents to tell us what is most important to you. Your feedback will help inform a range of important documents and help us plan for the future.

“Our annual Community Priorities is an important way for us to track any changes in what our community want us to focus on, and we can then plan accordingly.”
