Transition Plan Morning Tea 

Our Heartfelt Appreciation  

Friday, the 22nd of September, was an exceptional day in the LVA office! We had the great pleasure of showing our appreciation for the people, organisations and stakeholders who have contributed so fully and generously to the development of the Latrobe Valley and Gippsland Transition Plan.  

Our local Member and Minister for Regional Development, The Hon. Harriet Shing MP, joined us for a special morning tea to thank all those who had worked with us to ensure local knowledge, expertise and voices were reflected in this long-term vision for the region. There was a cake from Mooorish Cakes, coffee, conversation and very special donuts from Big Bear Donuts, all served with plenty of inspiration and vision for Gippsland's future.

With more than 1,000 individual responses from across the region, this plan has been developed in Gippsland, by Gippslanders, for Gippsland.
