The future of the valley

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.

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

How to get involved

Council is now seeking community input to develop a first draft of the Delatite Valley Plan. There are several ways you can get involved:

  • Online survey: Let us hear your experience of the Delatite Valley and what you'd like to see.
  • Town hall meetings: Join in-depth discussions about the district and share your ideas.
  • Merrijig Town Walk: Come on a walk with Council staff and help us identify key issues on the ground.
  • Online Workshops: Share your ideas and hear from others in interactive sessions.

Details of each opportunity will be made available as they are scheduled. You can follow this project page to receive updates.

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

We look forward to hearing from you.
