Our Vision 

In 2032, the City of Vincent is a leafy and vibrant 24-hour city, which is synonymous with quality design and sustainability. Its diverse population is supported in their innovative endeavours by a council that says YES!

This vision was created by the independently and randomly selected Community Engagement Panel for the Strategic Community Plan 2018 – 2028. It continues to be important to our community.

The additional feedback confirms that the community wants us to be a Council and organisation that:

• is clever, creative and courageous
• prioritises and protects our natural and built environments
• is in line with the community appetites and expectations
• supports day-time and night-time economies
• is open-minded and willing to push the boundaries
• is willing to think and act as an enabler rather than a traditional local government regulator
• Corporate Business Plan 2024/25 - 2027/28
• Strategic Community Plan 2022 - 2032

Priorities

Our priorities were established through the Strategic Community Plan 2018 – 2028. They continue to be a priority for the community now and into the future. No one priority is more substantial than another; each works in conjunction with the others to deliver on our community’s overall vision.

ENHANCED ENVIRONMENT

The natural environment contributes greatly to our inner-city community. We want to protect and enhance it, making best use of our natural resources for the benefit of current and future generations.

ACCESSIBLE CITY

We want to be a leader in making it safe, easy, environmentally friendly and enjoyable to get around Vincent.

CONNECTED & HEALTHY COMMUNITY

We are a diverse, welcoming and engaged community. We want to celebrate what makes us unique and connect with those around us to enhance our quality of life.

THRIVING PLACES

Thriving Places are integral to our identity, economy and appeal. We want to create, enhance and promote great places and spaces for everyone to enjoy.

SENSITIVE DESIGN

Design that ‘fits in’ to our neighbourhoods is important to us. We want to see unique, high quality developments that respect our character and identify and respond to specific local circumstances.

INNOVATIVE & ACCOUNTABLE

The City of Vincent has a significant role to play in supporting our community to realise its vision. To achieve this, we will be an innovative, honest, engaged and responsible organisation that manages resources well, communicates effectively and takes our stewardship role seriously.
