Launceston Vision 2020 is a statement about our future. It is a plan and a vision for Launceston developed by Council in consultation with the local community.
I am Launceston in 2020. I am a vibrant, confident, 'life-sized' city with opportunities for all in learning, work and recreation. I treasure my clean and beautiful environment, and respect my heritage. I am outward looking, full of community spirit and move forward in partnership with others. I value the unique role I play in Tasmania and Australia.
This statement encapsulates the messages, comments, hopes, thoughts and ideas of the people of Launceston about their home, that were obtained during six months of extensive consultation in 2005.
This consultation was funded by the Launceston City Council. It was designed to engage the whole community in developing a new vision and direction for the future for Launceston.
The end result, Launceston Vision 2020, is not simply a planning tool, nor is it used by Council alone. It is a strategy for change that requires the involvement of the whole community in its implementation, including the Australian and Tasmanian governments, community groups, local government, the business sector and, most importantly, individuals. It works together with other plans, including Tasmania Together, and aims to enhance the contribution that Launceston makes to achieving benefits for all Tasmanians.
