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.
