Moira Shire Council has adopted the Numurkah, Katunga and Strathmerton Growth Corridor Plan, setting a clear path for future growth and investment across the region.
The plan aims to address workforce shortages, housing supply and changes in water use by guiding and supporting development in the area.
The corridor is home to 6700 residents and supports 3000 jobs, primarily in agriculture and manufacturing.
Moira Shire Council chair administrator Graeme Emonson said the plan would improve local liveability, tourism and business opportunities.
“In Numurkah, council will review industrial land planning,” Dr Emonson said.
“In Katunga, priorities include advocating for sewer infrastructure and improving connections to nearby horticulture facilities.
“In Strathmerton, council will support the town following the closure of Bega operations and work to enhance local amenity and infrastructure.”
