Every four years, with community input, we prepare a Council Plan (Stonnington Tomorow) that sets our direction for the next four years and outlines the steps the Council will take towards achieving our Community Vision.

To make sure our Community Vision (originally developed in 2021 with a 20-year horizon to 2040) continues to reflect what the community thinks is important for Stonnington’s future, we undertook a process to review the vision with the help of our community.

This began in September 2024 with a check-in with the wider community through a series of in-person pop-up sessions and an online survey to gather feedback on the vision.

For more detail, see the Summary of initial community engagement.

In addition, 237 community members also filled out an expression-of-interest application to join our People’s Panel to review the Community Vision in detail (see below for more background).

We are now interested to hear your views on the draft Council Plan (Stonnington Tomorrow).

Take part in the short survey below by Monday 18 August to share your feedback, which will help shape the final Council Plan.

Initial input from the community was fed into the Stonnington People’s Panel 2025 – made up of 33 community members representing a diverse cross-section of people living, working, studying or owning a business in Stonnington.

In February and March 2025, our volunteer panel members took part in a series of workshops to review and build on the initial community feedback. As part of this they undertook a detailed review of the Community Vision ensuring it still reflects the hopes and priorities of our community and provides strong guidance for Council’s future planning.

For more detail, see the Summary of outcomes from the People’s Panel.

The Council Plan (Stonnington Tomorrow) includes our Community Vision – expressing where our community wants to be by 2040.

Stonnington Tomorrow also includes five key strategic directions in response to the Community Vision and long-term opportunities and challenges facing Stonnington:

Stonnington Tomorrow should be read alongside the 2025–26 Budget, which outlines how Council will allocate resources to deliver on its objectives and make progress towards our Community Vision.
