Council's vision for the Shire is: "A vibrant, united community, with a sustainable economy. An area where rural character, community safety and lifestyle are preserved."
In recognition of the traditional owners and custodians of this country, Dungog Shire Council acknowledges and respects the generations of the Gringai people who for many thousands of years have lived in and derived their physical and spiritual needs from this landscape of wooded hills and forests, of tributary streams and river valleys, which we all now share.
