Growing Together: My Mitchell, Our Future

The world is changing in many ways and our community will look very different in the next 30 years. We want Mitchell to remain a place we all love to live, work and thrive in as we grow and change.

To help all of us to continue to enjoy the Mitchell lifestyle, we need your help in building a shared vision.

Round two input now wanted

We've reviewed your ideas and suggestions provided at our pop ups, workshops and other events during March, April and early May.

It's now time for us to check back in and share some of the exciting themes which have emerged from what you had to say. You can also help us choose a draft vision statement and let us know if the themes are on the right track.

    Emerging themes and vision statement survey

    Based on the nearly 1500 responses we received, we've prepared some draft themes, focus areas for each theme and some possible vision statements. 

    We're checking in to see what you think of the themes and to help draft a vision statement. 

    Emerging themes

    You can help choose priority focus areas by choosing your top three under each theme and provide comments. There are six themes. The first two have a lot of focus areas. You will still be able to choose your top 3 on a mobile but it will be easier to see the whole list at once on a laptop or desktop computer. The others are shorter lists and will be easily used on mobiles or computers. 

    Vision statement

    You can help choose a draft vision statement from 10 that we've prepared based on the input received earlier this year. There are many similarities between the 10 options, but there are also a few differences. You can let us know which one you like the best and why or you can suggest other ones.

    Mitchell 2050 survey

    Mitchell Shire Council is asking you to share your views and ideas about what you want Mitchell to look, feel and be like, by the year 2050. Your input will help us to create a new vision for Mitchell Shire and identify the goals and priorities needed to bring your vision to life. The information will also be used to help shape the next Council Plan and the Health and Wellbeing Plan. 

    This survey will take about 15 minutes to complete. All questions are optional and all personal information collected will remain confidential. 

    Thank you for your time. It’s most appreciated. This survey closes 9am, Monday 10 May 2021.

    Prefer to chat in person?

    We'll be popping up at local events across April and early May so you can share your thoughts with us in person. Keep an eye on the website to see where we'll be appearing.
