The Structure Plan for the town states: "Trentham is a living rural town on the edge of the Wombat Forest. It values its historical integrity and seeks to foster its diversity and rich community spirit. It is a place where people can live, work and enjoy life in harmony with the natural environment and which retains its rural character, both physically and socially, while respecting its sense of place set amongst the pastoral and forest scenery of the central Highlands. It is and will be characterised by a vital social environment, which promotes diversity, social inclusion and quality life for its residents." In short, Trentham is not just a nice place to visit - it is a wonderful place to live as well. |
