Alpine Shire 2030 Community Vision

2010 Review

It is the year 2030 and the Alpine Shire area has grown to a diverse population of 20,000 people based around the three principle centres of Bright, Myrtleford and Mount Beauty, with growing communities which have their own distinct individual identity and rural village

character.It is a place where people enjoy an exceptional lifestyle, natural beauty and contentment, knowing that the right services, jobs, infrastructure

and community, support their ongoing needs.
