Strategies and Plans

Council manages a broad range of infrastructure assets to support the delivery of essential and valued community services.

Our Asset Plan 2022-2032 describes how we intend to manage Council's infrastructure assets over the next ten years.

Climate Change threatens Council's ability to provide essential services and infrastructure, and Council has a legislated responsibility to act.

This plan sets out Council's climate action pathway from now until 2035.

This Plan has been developed through extensive engagement and consultation with the community to ensure it reflects community views.

The purpose of Council's Domestic Animal Management Plan is to outline our strategic approach to the delivery of animal management services throughout the Shire.

The Plan outlines programs, services and strategies which we will use to promote and encourage responsible pet ownership using educational and regulatory approaches.

Council is responsible for the approval and on-going oversight of on-site wastewater management systems (or septic tanks) within the Shire.

The purpose of the Domestic Wastewater Management Plan is to identify and prioritise wastewater risks and help Council and other agencies manage these risks.

Council's Economic Development Strategy is a comprehensive five-year plan designed to improve the economic well-being and quality of life in the region.

Council’s Financial Plan 2021-2031 aims to provide a sustainable financial projection for achieving the Community Vision, despite some challenges and reliance on external grants. With strong cash reserves, Council can strategically address asset renewal needs and leverage grants for future projects.

Council recognises that improving gender equality within our organisation and wider community is one of the most important issues of our time. The Gender Equality Action Plan is focused on Council as an organisation and as an employer, and specifically outlines the steps we are taking to increase gender and intersectionality awareness and support within our organisation.

The Great Victorian Rail Trail is a 134 km recreational trail that follows the old railway through Mansfield, Murrindindi and Mitchell Shires.

The Great Victorian Rail Trail Strategic Development Plan has been created to guide the trail in transitioning from an asset into a signature tourism experience.

The Housing and Settlement Strategy seeks to provide a clear and logical framework that will guide planning and decision-making and assist meeting future housing needs within Murrindindi Shire to 2041 and beyond.

The Key Worker Housing Strategy has been developed to support Council to activate housing for key workers within our Shire.

Key worker housing is critical in supporting industries like Health and Aged Care, Tourism, Farm Forestry and Manufacturing.
