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

Final Draft of the Omeo District Place Plan has been released for public feedback. Feedback closes Friday 2 October 2026. You can submit you feedback to place planning via email placeplanning@egipps.vic.gov.au

Informed by local community through community workshops and community surveys the plan includes local profiles using current demographic data and trends, alongside insights from existing plans, reports, and strategies. The Plan also identifies community's values, issues, opportunities, and priorities.

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