Macedon Ranges Shire Council

**How it was developed** The Community Vision was developed by a Community Assembly group that met over three weeks. Participants engaged in workshops where they deliberated on various issues, considering expert insights and diverse view points. The following themes reflect a vision for a community where all people feel they belong and are able to help shape the future of the shire. They will guide our decision-making, work, and funding allocation over the next 10 years. **Our local businesses and tourism sectors are thriving and provide opportunities for everyone** - Our local economy and businesses are thriving and promote our unique identity. - Our community promotes economic equality so that everyone can afford to live well and participate in community life. **Our rural and natural surroundings are cared for and protected** - Our natural environment, wildlife, biodiversity and water quality are cared for and protected. - Our actions against climate change are prioritised and enables the community to act. - Our council and our community act in environmentally sustainable ways.
