Our Town Towards 2030 delivered town-specific Place Plans through a placemaking and co-design process for five towns in Towong Shire: Bellbridge, Bethanga, Mitta Mitta, Corryong and Tallangatta. These Place Plans set a vision and identified priorities for each town's future.
The development of the Place Plans was an opportunity to re-imagine how our towns function. It brought together the big ideas that support growth, while identifying the services, infrastructure and public spaces needed to meet community needs.
Each Place Plan included a shared set of goals and initiatives to guide development over the next 10 years.
Why did we develop these plans?
Regional towns across Australia have experienced significant growth in recent years, increasing pressure on services, housing, jobs and infrastructure. The five towns – Bellbridge, Bethanga, Corryong, Mitta Mitta and Tallangatta – each faced unique challenges and opportunities, further compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2019–20 bushfires. Each plays a strategic role within Towong Shire and the broader regional network.
