Why is an East Gippsland Sporting Facilities Plan required?

    The plan will enable Council to consolidate  the outcomes and recommendations to develop a prioritised  and costed facilities improvement plan for the entire Shire. This  plan  allows Council to submit applications  to State and Federal Funding Streams and prepare budget bids from Council Capital Works.

    Why aren’t all townships included within plan?

    The focus for this plan was to respond to the sporting and active recreation needs of the communities of Lakes Entrance, Paynesville, Orbost, Lindenow/ Lindenow South and Omeo, as incorporating all sporting facilities within all East Gippsland Shire towns was not feasible. This plan provides strong guidance for the planning for the future needs of communities in smaller towns and villages throughout the Shire currently without an existing plan.

    Will all projects proposed in the plan be carried out?

    This plan does not commit Council to funding nor implementation of works but rather provide a framework for future  works.

    Will my comments make any difference?

    Your feedback is important and will be considered as the Final Report is prepared.
