The council has been receiving great feedback from our community about our Draft Integrated Plans. There have been eight engagement sessions so far, with more to come. Our councillors and council staff have thoroughly enjoyed seeing you and hearing your thoughts on our draft plans, where you think the gaps are and what you think we have done right.

Council would like your feedback on key plans for South Gippsland to ensure they accurately reflect the needs of our community

Council mail out

Scam call

Council has received reports that there is someone calling residents asking to complete the Community Vision 2040 survey. This is not council. This is a scam. Please do not provide any personal information or answer any questions. Look out for your family and friends by letting them know.

Please be reminded that the council will not be calling you to complete the survey, beware of the scam call and do not provide personal data
