The Greater Dandenong People's Panel spent three and a half days deliberating on a new community vision and principles for the City of Greater Dandenong in 2040. They reviewed community engagement outcomes, heard from guest speakers and discussed current and future challenges for our city. The final vision created by the panel reflects the aspirations of our city and the principles outline what we should focus on to achieve this.
Our community's vision for 2040 is:
The City of Greater Dandenong is a home to all. It's a city where you can enjoy
and embrace life through celebration and equal opportunity.
We harmonise the community by valuing multiculturalism and the individual.
Our community is healthy, vibrant, innovative and creative.
Our growing city is committed to environmental sustainability.
Welcome to our exciting and peaceful community.
To complement the vision, and further define what the community would like to see Greater Dandenong be in 2040, six principles were developed. These principles were:
- Safe and peaceful community
- Education, Training, Entrepreneurship and Employment Opportunities
- Sustainable Environment
- Embrace diversity and multiculturalism
- Mind, Body and Spirit
- Art and Culture
This vision and its accompanying principles influence Council's key strategic direction and the priorities that we set for our annual activities.
