The Upper Murray 2030 Vision Plan, launched in November 2016, is a community-led plan designed to drive investment into the Upper Murray.

Upper Murray Incorporated in consultation with community is committed to identifying ‘game-changing’ projects with potential to build regional long-term sustainability, prosperity and health for the region.

Key initiatives in the plan have been implemented through grant funding received by Local, State and Federal Governments, and Corryong Health.

Agriculture, tourism, pumped hydro and utilisation of biomass are the current initiatives explored through the Local Development Strategy ‘Innovation Upper Murray’. They are key enablers towards achieving the 2030 Vision Plan.

Also, it is important to empower our people to sustain innovative thinking, and to that purpose UMI has been supporting an Upper Murray Community Leadership Program in partnership with Alpine Valleys Community Leadership.

The Upper Murray is home to resilient communities who work collaboratively towards a shared vision.

The Upper Murray ‘brand’ is well known to tourists and foodies reflecting a pristine environment, ‘real’ Australian experience and quality agricultural product.

There is a range of employment and education opportunities that support a diverse, resilient and healthy community. Quality health and social networks reinforce a sense of belonging and support.

Local food is plentiful and affordable. Arts and cultural experiences are celebrated throughout the year.

Local townships within the Upper Murray have a strong character, are walkable, local and friendly, offering services to the local market and tourists alike.
