Renewal - Wendouree West

Community & Partnerships
The Renewal is about people in our community joining together as partners – older people, teenagers, young people, our whole community, all government departments, local councils, local agencies and many other groups. These partnerships will help strengthen our community, breaking down the stigma and overcoming the isolation that many of our residents feel.

Our vision is to; be proud of our community, feel safe walking around our neighbourhood, make use of the upgraded parks and reserves, have modern environmentally friendly homes, tidier streets, and make use of our new community facilities and resources. A community that is happier and healthier, with confident people watching out for, communicating with and supporting each other.

The environmental and physical features of the area will be recognised and protected for their ecological and scenic values and for their contribution to the character and lifestyle of Wendouree West and Ballarat.
