Community Reference Groups

The Central Highlands has 13 place-based community reference groups (CRGs), all helping to shape the future of our region. They were established to support the aspirations in the CH 2022 Community Plan and as a stakeholder continue to work towards Central Highlands 2043 Vision.

CRGs are located in our 13 communities across the region. Members work together with stakeholders to advance community-led initiatives to improve their community now and into the future.

The CRGs meet regularly and are made up of community members representing a range of community sectors including youth, seniors, business, rural, sports, recreation, arts, cultural, education, health and community services.
