The Goughs Bay Plan has been drafted based on the results of our initial engagement.
Previous community engagement has highlighted walking, swimming, and boating as the top activities enjoyed in Goughs Bay. The Lake Eildon waterfront is a key attraction, with 50% of respondents identifying it as their favourite feature. Key priorities for improvement include enhancing walking and cycling paths, adding more picnic areas and shelters, and improving water access. Additionally, 70% of respondents expressed satisfaction with the current water quality in Lake Eildon. Suggestions for new events included markets, festivals, boat shows, and other water-related activities, reflecting a strong community interest in vibrant, water-oriented experiences.
We hope the draft has accurately reflected the communities values and vision for the future of Goughs Bay.
