Murrindindi Shire Council is pleased to announce that the draft Yea Structure Plan is now available for community review and feedback.
This marks the next step in shaping a long-term vision for Yea’s growth, following successful community engagement events in March and April. At these events, residents, local businesses and community groups shared their ideas and priorities, from improving connectivity and housing choice, to enhancing local infrastructure and tourism opportunities.
Murrindindi Shire Council’s Cheviot Ward Councillor Sue Carpenter said the plan reflects the aspirations of the local community.
"We’ve listened closely to what people value about Yea and what they want to see in its future. The draft plan provides a clear framework to guide future growth and investment, while protecting what makes Yea such a special place," Cr Carpenter said.
"We’re encouraging everyone to have their say and help shape the final plan."
The draft plan and its supporting background report are available on Council’s engagement platform, The Loop, feedback is open until Wednesday 18 June 2025.
The Yea Structure Plan project is supported by the Victorian Government through the Department of Transport and Planning’s Regional Partnerships Program, designed to assist flood-affected councils with strategic planning and future resilience.
Council thanks the Yea community for their continued involvement and looks forward to hearing more thoughts on the draft.
