The Draft Council and Wellbeing Plan 2025-2029 is now available to view and provide feedback. The public exhibition period was endorsed at the July Council meeting for a period of 28 days from 23 July to 20 August 2025.
The Council and Wellbeing Plan 2025-2029 sets out the strategic direction and priorities of Council for the next four years, ensuring that Council’s work is aligned with the needs and aspirations of the community.
The Draft Plan is built around six key themes and has been shaped through an extensive six-week community consultation and engagement process that aimed to gather a wide range of perspectives on Glenelg’s strengths, challenges, priorities, and future aspirations, with a strong focus on health and wellbeing, the environment, the economy, and governance.
To support the Plan, we have developed a suite of documents for transparency in demonstrating how we embedded community voice in to the Plan. You can download these from the documents tab on this page.
Now it’s time for you to Have Your Say on the Draft Plan.

A Hard copy Draft Council and Wellbeing Plan is available to view at any Customer Service location and the Nelson Visitor Information Centre. Hard copy submission forms are also available and must be received to Portland Customer Service by 5pm Wednesday 20 August.

The 2040 Community Plan and Vision was developed in consultation with 88 community members, across four Community Reference Groups, using feedback from over 1,600 community members, business owners and local organisations who participated in the wider consultation program.
Council is required to review the document every fours years following an election. As part of the Council Plan 2025-2029 development we are reviewing the Vision and Priorities under each of the themes to ensure they remain relevant and in line with community aspirations and national trends. The updated Community Vision will then be integrated with the Council Plan 2025-2029 and Health and Wellbeing Plan.
