Gippsland 2035 - Our Region. Our Future.
Backed by extensive collaboration, Gippsland 2035 is what we’ve called the suite of three documents that form the vision and actions that will see Gippslanders thrive as the region transitions towards a sustainable and prosperous future.
- The Transition Plan – “Plan”
- The Implementation Plan – “Do”
- The Outcomes Framework – “Assess”
Together, these documents provide a blueprint for Gippsland's transition and offer a promising path toward a brighter future for the region - Gippsland 2035.
Shaping the future of Latrobe Valley and Gippsland
We gathered feedback and advice from people right across the region and want to thank the thousands who have shared their hopes, dreams and aspirations for our region’s future. Those thoughts, priorities and strengths are what this long-term vision for economic growth, job creation and the development of sustainable industries are built on.
Developed in Gippsland, by Gippsland and for Gippsland, the Latrobe Valley and Gippsland Transition Plan sets out a shared vision for the community in 2035.
1. Transition Plan:
- identifies goals, guiding principles and areas of focus that will contribute to achieving positive outcomes
- contains 52 recommendations including roles and opportunities for action across all sectors, paving the way for better targeting of programs, services and infrastructure
- describes how Gippsland can create quality, long-term jobs, retrain and re-skill workers in transitioning industries and improve the health and wellbeing of the community
- recognises potential for stronger alignment of policy and investment across all levels of government and private and community sectors.

3. Outcomes Framework
The Outcomes Framework is a way of checking whether we are on track to achieve our goals.
It communicates:
- What the Plan aims to achieve – these are the outcomes described in the Plan.
- What needs to change to help us get there – these are the indicators in this Outcomes Framework.
- How we will know if we are making progress – these are the measures in this Outcomes Framework.
This Outcomes Framework was developed in consultation with business, community and government representatives. We acknowledge and appreciate their contribution.

An accessible version of the Outcomes Framework will be available soon.
Community voice is at the heart of the transition plan
Local ideas and voices have been so important in creating a shared vision that is embraced by our community and backed by local leaders, key employers, industry groups and government for Gippsland 2035.
