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.

  • SURVEY — Omeo District Place Plan

    Help create a plan for the Omeo District that reflects your community’s character, values and vision.

    You’re invited to share your thoughts in a community survey to inform the development of the Omeo District Place Plan - a practical guide that brings together local voices, community priorities, and Council’s strategic direction into one coordinated plan.  

    This plan will reflect the unique character and aspirations of the district, which includes Anglers Rest, Benambra, Bindi, Cassilis, Cobungra, Ensay, Omeo, Swifts Creek, and Tambo Crossing.

     Your input will help us understand:

    • What it's like to live in your district.
    • What matters most to you.
    • What you envision for the future.

    While broader Council strategies set the foundation, the Place Plan ensures our actions are tailored to each district’s needs and identity.

    This survey may take 10-30 minutes to complete.

    The survey closes at 12pm on Monday 3 November 2025.

The information you provide will be used to inform the final Omeo District Place Plan and to give residents a voice in shaping their district’s future. The survey allows you to submit your feedback anonymously; however, if you choose to include any personal information, it may be possible to identify you, given the specific nature of this project.
