We are developing a new East Gippsland Aquatic Strategy.

This strategy will guide how we manage, enhance, and envision aquatic facilities across East Gippsland, shaping a future where residents can enjoy high-quality aquatic services that meet their interests and needs.

It will be built on a deep understanding of both current realities and future aspirations. It will consider:

• The condition and capacity of our existing facilities
• Identify emerging community needs.
• Explore exciting opportunities for redevelopment and innovation.
• A peer review of the 2015 strategy to ensure ongoing relevance and effectiveness.

Community involvement and consultation

The development of the new strategy will include extensive community engagement, including a project reference group.

This approach ensures that decisions are informed by community and stakeholder input, while also considering the demand for, and the cost and feasibility of, additional aquatic facilities in our shire.

Our commitment to you: inform to involve – We will work closely with the reference group to ensure community concerns and aspirations are understood, considered, and reflected in the strategy. We will keep the community informed and provide opportunities for feedback during the project.

Project reference group

We are establishing a project reference group comprised of a diverse mix of community members, key stakeholders and user groups to help guide the development of the new East Gippsland Aquatic Strategy.

The reference group will be formed to capture a broad range of views from a representative section of the community who will provide input into the strategy and be included in its development.

We’re calling for expressions of interest from people who would like to be part of this reference group and can offer community and user group perspectives, including:

• Broad community representation, from different places, cultural backgrounds and varied interests in aquatic and sporting facilities within the shire
• Have key stakeholder and current user group representation
• Have representation from industry bodies

📢 Want to get involved?
You can apply to be a member by completing the expression of interest form below, emailing feedback@egipps.vic.gov.au or pick up an EoI form from any of our customer service centres or recreation facilities.

🗓️ Applications close 12pm, Monday 8 December 2025
