Table of Contents
Paynesville and DistrictPaynesville, Raymond Island, Eagle Point and Newlands Arm make up ëPaynesville and Districtí . These towns surround the heart of the Gippsland Lakes, an internationally recognised and locally cherished region.
The district covers the traditional area of the Tantungulang and Brabralung people of the Gunaikurnai Nation. We respectfully acknowledge past and present elders.
The area was settled in the middle 1850s by fishermen, pastoralists and traders who took advantage of the plentiful fishing, access to the Port of Bairnsdale and Melbourne markets.
The heritage of Paynesville and districtís origins is still well represented in Langford Parade and Newlands Drive, and in important parts of the lakes foreshores around the district.
Paynesville and district is a popular retirement and lifestyle destination. The proximity to Bairnsdale, lakes lifestyle and quality boating drive the growth of the district.
The community is served by shops, cafÈs, commercial and community facilities. Visitor attractions and services make tourism and hospitality a vital part of the districtís economy.
Raymond Island residents enjoy living in a natural bush setting. The Raymond Island ferry provides the only link between the island and the mainland and is critical to the Islander lifestyle. The combination of its well-known koalas and island status make it a popular visitor destination.
Eagle Point offers a quiet lakeside location for residential lifestyle in a town and semi-rural setting. It has local facil-ities including a primary school, serving a growing population.
Newlands Arm is a newer community that has attracted people to a secure lakeside environment. Newlands Armís sheltered foreshore and boating in-frastructure is an important asset.

OUR PLAN What is a community plan? This community plan is a collaborative effort between the Shire and your community, recording strategies and actions to help Paynesville and District build support and focus resources to promote its people, their livelihood and their environment. The plan becomes a source document for Council, community groups and other organisations to coordinate the use of time, effort, funds and other resources in delivering outcomes to the communities concerned. The plan is based on a long term vision and will contain short, medium and long term strategies and actions. It is a living document which can be regularly reviewed and updated as actions are completed, new opportunities or challenges arise and priorities change.

Our Plan
Page 2Page 2
How was this community plan developed?The ideas that inform this plan have come from the residents of Paynesville, Raymond Island, Eagle Point and Newlands Arm through on-going community engagement.
Residents highlighted the unique character of their towns and expressed a preference for plans which deal with four areas separately. The ëOur Futureí section of this document therefore addresses each locality separately.
In 2012 community groups contributed to the plan through a series of formal discussions. These discussions include separate focus group sessions held for Paynesville, Raymond Island, Eagle Point and Newlands Arm.
Young people were also engaged in the preparation of the plan with Year Five and Six students at Paynesville and Eagle Point Primary Schools consulted as part of their school program. Conversations were also held with the community at forums such as the Paynesville Primary School Food and Garden Fair.
Council staff also held meetings with specific interest groups, community organisations, business groups and agencies to discuss their views and priorities for the district. This plan also draws on ideas and aspirations that were expressed by community members at the Bendigo Bank community forum and the Victoria Police community meeting.
To finalise the first phase of engagement, a community forum was held in Paynesville on 4 June 2012, involving all those groups initially consulted with and other community members. At this forum the ideas and infor-mation were consolidated into a draft plan and initial priorities set.
All residents in the district were then contacted by letter and invited to view the draft plan and provide further comments on the plan. Over 100 comments were received during this phase of the consultation.
This considerable community input the development and review of the draft plan is a demonstration of the willingness of the local communities to contribute to the conversations that will guide development of their communities.

Our Achievements
Our district is bound together by its relationships with the Gippsland Lakes. The towns that make up the district share many common features and the communities many common values.
The districtís abundant natural resources, boating and recreation, aesthetic appeal and diversity of living options provide the district with a strong identity and point of unity. The continued maintenance and improvement of these attributes is an ongoing priority.
Current projects summary
At the time of drafting the plan there were a range of Council projects being developed in Paynesville and District. These include:
ï Gilsenan Reserve upgrade (including Fleischer Street extension)
ï Paynesville Maritime Precinct Master Plan (Slip Road)
ï Paynesville Foreshore (East) Concept Master Plan
ï Progress Jetty toilet block upgrade
ï Implementation of the Newlands Arm Foreshore Management Plan
ï Victoria Street footpath link
ï Structure planning for new residential growth
ï Scoping study for additional industrial land
As the plan is implemented this list will grow and develop to reflect the priorities of the plan. It is acknowledged that funding limitations will mean that not all the actions identified in the plan will be able to be immediately implemented.
Our Plan
Page 4Page 4
Our FutureWhy does this plan matter?Change will impact on the community. The best way to manage change is to plan.
ìW e see challenges in providing local transport, infrastructure and services to meet the needs of our growing community.î
We know that the big global issues such as peak oil, climate change and food security will affect our communities. We also know that more localised issues such as the ageing population, environmental problems specific to East Gippsland and provision of infrastructure and services will also have a more immediate effect on our quality of life.
It is how we manage and respond to these changes that will best position our communities for the future.
What benefits will you see?Having a community plan will mean a shared set of strategies and actions to make Paynesville and District a better place in the future. This will mean more efficient use of financial resources and more effective use of everyoneís time by better prioritising projects.
Residents, businesses and community groups will have a clearly defined route for developing ideas and working with others, including the Council to turn these ideas into projects that will benefit the whole community.
Our prioritiesMuch of the strategic intent set out in this plan is about meeting the challenges of growth and change and preserving the Paynesville and District way of life while making the best of the opportunities that this change will bring.
As part of the discussions that took place to develop this plan, top priority strategies were nominat-ed for each of the four places covered in this plan. The priorities are starting points for implementing the plan, but do not in fer that the other objectives, strategies and actions identified in the plan are of any less importance.
The priority strategies are denoted with bold italic font within the strategy tables for each place.
