The Share Your Vision survey has been extended and will now close on Friday 23 August.

Thank you to everyone who contributed their ideas already.

You can share your ideas in person by joining Council staff for a walk through Merrijig and a community drop-in session.

We want to hear your concerns and your vision for the valley's future. You'll have the opportunity ask about the Delatite Valley Plan and to point out opportunities or issues on-site.

There's no need to register, simply arrive on the day.

For information or enquiries, email strategic.planning@mansfield.vic.gov.au or call (03) 5775 8555.

The Share Your Vision survey is now open until 9 August 2024.

We're asking about your experiences living, working or staying in the Delatite Valley, and your vision for its future. Your feedback will guide Council staff in drafting the Delatite Valley Plan.

What would you like to see the Delatite Valley become over the next 20 years?

The Delatite Valley offers a unique lifestyle and recreational opportunities at the gateway to some of Victoria's most iconic natural landscapes.

A recent surge in growth and development is only predicted to grow, with the Shire's population forecast to increase by more than 50% by 2042. Careful planning is needed to manage this growth while maintaining the community's wellbeing.

The Delatite Valley Plan will serve as a guide, outlining the community's vision and providing a road map for sustainable development that helps the district prosper.

The community's voice

We want this plan to be guided by you - the community. Whether you're a long-time resident, a frequent visitor, or a business owner, the Delatite Valley Plan is an opportunity for you to influence the district's future.

Your insights and experiences will help Council create a plan that addresses the issues most important to you. A plan that respects our rich history while embracing new opportunities and change.
