Township Plans Project Completed

Benalla Rural City Council has completed the development of Township Plans for our rural townships and surrounding districts—a key commitment to supporting the future of our smaller communities.

Developed in close collaboration with local residents, each Township Plan identifies and prioritises community aspirations, projects, and opportunities for growth and development.

Each Plan:

• articulates the issues that matter most to the community
• provides a clear blueprint for future development
• supports efforts to attract local and state funding
• promotes a coordinated approach to social, cultural, and economic development
• identifies tourism and promotional opportunities

The first stage of the project focused on the communities of Thoona, Baddaginnie and Swanpool, with plans for other rural townships completed in 2022.

These plans now serve as valuable tools to guide local decision-making, investment, and advocacy.
