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.

Omeo District Place Plan

Development of an Omeo District Place Plan is underway. The local profile is being 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 Omeo District Place Plan.

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

    With the closing of the online survey, the first stage of our community consultation has now come to an end. A huge thank you to everyone who has contributed to the development of the Place Plan so far. We have received many thoughtful responses and valuable feedback from across the district.

    Community members engaged with us through workshops, online platforms and surveys. Workshops were held in Tambo Crossing, Swifts Creek, Omeo and Benambra. The team also attended community events and activities, including the Omeo Show, where we were able to hear more from young people, families and visitors to the area. We were fortunate to align this work with recent project and program engagement, such as Listening to the Voices of Children and Young People and the Mayor for a Day activity delivered by Uniting, Communities for Children and Council. This helped ensure that relevant consultations are reflected in the development of the Plan.

    We have had 486 participants visit the Place Plan website, with 85 submissions and 52 downloads. From the website data alone, we can see that 304 visitors were ‘aware’, 131 were ‘informed’ and 70 were ‘engaged’.

    We are now collating all responses into the draft Place Plan. This preparation will take some time to ensure the draft meets both community and Council expectations. With the Christmas holiday period fast approaching and in recognition of the time needed by our community partners who are supporting the review process we expect to share a Draft Place Plan with the community in February 2026.
