Plan for the region's growth
East Gippsland Shire Council Mayor and Chair of One Gippsland Cr Mark Reeves said, "We are keen to work with both levels of government to deliver a more prosperous Gippsland and help us on our way to becoming one of the most liveable regions in Australia."
"Gippsland is one of the fastest growing areas in the State with our population expected to grow by 26 per cent by 2036, so it's important that we plan ahead and invest in the right infrastructure for our region's future" Cr Reeves explained.

- Rail: Improving reliability, speed and accessibility
- Health and Wellbeing: Meeting the varied needs of the region
- Food and Fibre: Capitalising on the region's strengths
