Masterplan for Sandy Point

15 Oct

Following several years of lobbying by the Sandy Point Community Group (with the endorsement of the Community Centre Committee, the Surf Club and the Foreshore Committee) the Shire has begun to consider a township masterplan so that capital funding can be allocated or sought for projects identified within the Plan and undertaken in a coordinated way.

In July 2025 the Shire executive met with the SPCG in a Council initiated workshop meeting to discuss township issues and aspirations. This workshop was a prelude to probable masterplan funding, including a community consultation process.

In addition to a tour of the township, we presented ideas from various stakeholders to establish a general preliminary understanding of issues and aspirations considered to be important to the whole community.

We expect the Shire will run the community consultation process and all members of the Sandy Point community will be given an opportunity to provide input into the masterplan itself. We are very grateful for South Gippsland Shire Council's support with this important initiative and we thank those Councillors who have supported us.

Having an endorsed masterplan will enable us as a community to source funding for projects that Council may not be able to fund. Overall, it may take many years to deliver all identified projects; however, we will have an endorsed plan and that enables progress.
