The future of the valley
Share The future of the valley on Facebook Share The future of the valley on Twitter Share The future of the valley on Linkedin Email The future of the valley linkThe 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.
