Help shape the future of Events in East Gippsland

We’re developing an Event Action Plan to support a vibrant, sustainable, and inclusive events calendar across East Gippsland. Share your ideas, insights, and experiences to help guide future event planning and investment.

Events play a vital role in bringing communities together, supporting local businesses, and showcasing East Gippsland as a destination to live, work and visit.

We’re developing the East Gippsland Event Action Plan to create a clear, strategic approach to planning, supporting, and growing events across the region. The plan will identify opportunities to strengthen our events calendar, improve support for event organisers, and enhance the social and economic benefits events deliver to our communities.

Your input will help ensure the plan reflects local needs, aspirations, and lived experience.
