A community vision for Hobart

Hobart: A community vision for our island capital was developed in collaboration with Hobart communities and stakeholders. They provided over 1100 contributions, which went into the vision’s creation. After receiving these contributions, the City of Hobart worked with the community panel to draft the vision. The community panel consisted of 46 community members and businesspeople from across the region. The City of Hobart recognises and values highly the dedication of the people involved. Full details about the engagement process can be found in the vision document, available at hobartcity.com.au

The community vision outlines what people value about Hobart today and what they aspire to for its future. The vision’s purpose is to guide the City of Hobart’s work, calling on us to demonstrate long-term commitment to helping create the Hobart our communities want.

The vision has three parts: 1. Vision statement: The overarching message about the future of Hobart, written by the community panel. 2. Identity statements: Summaries of the Hobart stories, values and special qualities that community members and stakeholders want to see reinforced, developed or improved. 3. Pillars: Aspirations about the major aspects of city life. The community vision will be used to guide and direct the City’s strategies, plans and priorities now and into the future. All strategies and programs will be designed to implement and deliver on the vision.
