Trentham: our town, our future.

We all love Trentham.
But what do we value? And what do we want it to look like in, say, five years’ time?

Trentham’s Town Structure Plan will soon be prepared by Hepburn Council – the planning regulations to govern our town’s future development. This survey is a chance to provide your input for Council.

 

We want to collect your opinions about Trentham and we welcome input from residents and community groups. Responses will be collated and shared for further feedback, to then create a document encapsulating our community’s needs and wants.

 

Please respond to this survey as soon as you feel ready, it’ll remain open until mid-May.

 

We encourage you to get involved to help Council to help us. Don’t feel obliged to answer everything – but the more responses, the stronger and clearer our message.

 

Any questions? Email us at trumpet@trentham.org.au

Please select one option for each point.
