Work is under way to develop Mildura Rural City Council’s next four-year Council Plan.
Council has this week launched a comprehensive consultation campaign ‘Your Vision, Our Plan – Mildura 2025-2029’, aimed at giving everyone in the Mildura Rural City Council area a chance to shape the next Council Plan.
The Your Vision, Our Plan campaign builds on Council’s Towards 2040 initiative, which was undertaken in mid-2024 and aimed to touch base with the community regarding the key outcomes identified in the 20-year Community Vision.
More than 1,300 people took part, telling council what they loved about the region, while also touching on what would make it better and the challenges still faced.
Sustainability, hospitals/GPs, education, tourism and job opportunities were highlighted as the top priorities moving forward.
The community also told council that the Mildura Riverfront remained their favourite place.
Improving roads and parking, public transport and a focus on more activities for children were among the top items listed as ways the community could be improved.
Your Vision, Our Plan feedback closes on Friday 21 February 2025, before the Draft 2025-2029 Council Plan is exhibited for further feedback.

You can also pick up hard copy surveys at Council libraries, our Customer Service Centres, or by catching up with council staff at in-person sessions and workshops across the region.
