Your Region. Your Vision.

What’s your vision for 2043?

Your Region, Your Vision is an opportunity to share your vision for the future of the Central Highlands – what do you love, where do you see our community going, what needs to change?

This is a chance for the community to create a 2043 vision for the Central Highlands, and a vision for each of the 13 communities in the region.

The vision will be created and owned by the community. Individuals, families, businesses and community organisations. Together we can act on the aspirations, priorities and ideas that come from the community vision.

So, if you live and work here in the Central Highlands or even if you’re just visiting, we want your input for the 2043 Central Highlands Community Vision.

Share your vision - Ways to get involved

We want to hear from all residents across the Central Highlands region, from Arcadia Valley to Tieri and Bogantungan to Duaringa.

In June, council will host the Regional Roundtable Roadshow with roundtable community meetings taking place in these 13 communities and online. See a full list of dates and details in the Regional Roadshow section. Please help us plan these events by RSVP'ing via the form below.

Drop in and join the fun at one of our pop up visioning booths with fun activities and giveaways for all ages. See a full list of dates and details in the Pop-up Booth section.

Can't make it to one of our scheduled dates?

You don't need to wait for us to talk about your vision. If your club or group is meeting you can use this DIY conversation tool to step you through the visioning process. We want to hear from anyone and everyone - arts groups and sporting clubs, youth and senior citizens, charities and religious congregations, schools and apprentices, Indigenous communities, environmental groups, farmers and industry, businesses large and small, investors and visitors.

Using this guide, you will be able to tell us what your club or group’s community vision is for the future by hosting your own meeting using our DIY conversation kit. You can do this online or download the Do-it-yourself Conversation.
