The Nimbin Good Times’ vision statement, developed in May 1998, saw an on-going role for the paper in community development by:
- Informing the Nimbin community of news relevant to people living in the region.
 - Presenting information from local groups and news of their activities.
 - Providing contact points through which people can become involved and connected in their community.
 - Publicising news of Nimbin community activities and operations.
