Having a Place Plan is our way of working with communities to shape the future of each district – Together

We're creating an easy-to-read, practical guide that brings together local voices, community priorities, and Council’s strategic direction into one coordinated plan. While Council-wide strategies provide the foundation, a Place Plan ensures that what we do reflects the unique character, needs, and aspirations of each of our districts.

Place Plans are built through deliberate community engagement, giving residents a voice in shaping their district’s future. They help Council make informed decisions and invest in the things that matter most to their communities.

District Place Plans are captured in the 2025-2029 Council Plan as a key focus of Theme 1 – Community wellbeing and social responsibility, and will be delivered over time across East Gippsland, district by district.

Metung District Place Plan

Development of an Metung District Place Plan is underway. The local profile will be developed using current demographic data and trends, alongside insights from existing plans, reports, and strategies. This includes identifying community values, issues, opportunities, and priorities.

From there, we will:

• Host community workshops and online surveys.
• Integrate Council resourcing and community input.
• Refine actions and draft the Metung District Place Plan.

The outcome will be an action-focused Place Plan that reflects both Council’s strategic direction and the community’s vision.
