Shape your Future

In 2022 Council undertook an eight -week community campaign called 'Shape your Future' to seek feedback from our residents, businesses, visitors and key partners to provide feedback on what is needed for the next 4 years to make the City of Marion a great place to live, work and visit.

The two- month campaign ran from July-August 2022. Council received 618 responses.

Community feedback informed the development of the Business Plan 2023-2027 which contains a range of priorities that the council proposes to deliver by 2027.
