Wellington Community Early Years Plan released

Wednesday 05 July 2017

At its ordinary council meeting on Tuesday 4 July, Wellington Shire adopted the Wellington Community Early Years Plan 2017-2021.

The plan was developed through a detailed community engagement process involving a wide range of people from various locations representing all age groups across the Shire. Responses were summarised and workshopped with partnering organisations and the draft plan was released for public comment and feedback.

Wellington Shire Council General Manager Community & Culture Glenys Butler says, “The final plan reflects the strong partnerships that exist across the Shire to encourage and support all young children to reach their full potential.

“The plan includes four key areas; Collaborative partnerships; Friendly environments; Strong and connected communities and Ongoing monitoring and reviewing. Progress of the plan will be regularly monitored by the Wellington Early Years Network.

“Council and its early years partners will use this document as their decision-making guide over the next four years.”
