Hundreds of people have shared their vision for the future of Wagga Wagga during week one of Wagga View – Our Future in Focus.

A community wishing tree has sprouted to life with resident’s wishes for a Wagga of the future, thoughts are being videoed and captured in letters and conversations are being had about what is great in Wagga and what could be improved.

Wagga View is open to all members of the Wagga community and runs for four weeks. The Wagga View shop is open in the Sturt Mall, Monday to Saturday. In addition there are weekend opportunities at upcoming markets and online options here via wagga.nsw.gov.au/waggaview

Week two of Wagga View features a schools program to capture ideas and views of Wagga’s younger community, and, the Wagga View Race.

During the school program, Charlie, Council’s community engagement truck, will visit a number of Wagga schools where students will take part in a range of activities, from discussing their favourite places and spaces in Wagga to sharing their thoughts to build a city they would like for the future.
