Cann River community workshop Tuesday 16 October

East Gippsland Shire Council is working in partnership with the communities of the Cann River district and key agencies to create the first Cann River District Plan 2019-24.

Council’s Director Community Strategy Kate Nelson said the The One Place One Plan project is a different way of working together to plan and make decisions as a district.

“Council has been working with members of the Cann River District to understand how the communities across the district work, live, play and connect. This was captured in a well-attended workshop held in August, which identified the environmental, built, cultural, social, human and economic assets of the district,” Ms Nelson said.

“Members of the community are invited to come together for the next workshop to tell us what information has been missed; what else needs to be included; and what questions to ask in the community survey being released in November.”

The workshop is being held from 5.30-8pm on Tuesday, October 30 at the Cann Valley Bush Nursing Centre. Registrations can be made by contacting Council on (03) 5153 9500 and asking to speak to Eleni McIlroy or online via the Your Say East Gippsland website.

The project is funded by the Australian Government, Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development Building Better Regions Fund Community Investment Stream and is being trialed in Cann River District, Mountain Rivers (Errinundra to Snowy) District and Twin Rivers District. 

The Cann River District includes Buldah, Cann River, Chandlers Creek, Club Terrace, Combienbar, Noorinbee, Noorinbee North, Tamboon, Tamboon South, Tonghi Creek, Wingan River and surrounds.
