East Gippsland Shire Council
Government AdministrationVictoria, Australia201-500 Employees
The East Gippsland Shire Council functions as the regional local government authority for East Gippsland, providing governance and leadership through advocacy, decision making and action. It oversees more than 100 local government services for residents across a 21,000-square-kilometre area that extends from west of Bairnsdale to the New South Wales border. The council operates in a landscape marked by extensive public land and dispersed communities, which creates resource and delivery challenges that it seeks to address through strategic alliances and cross-sector partnerships. Based in Bairnsdale with service centres in Lakes Entrance, Mallacoota, Omeo, Orbost and Paynesville, the council aims to be an accessible and inclusive employer while fostering staff development to maintain service quality. A recent development includes a May 2026 collaboration with East Gippsland Water to promote water conservation and the responsible disposal of wet wipes. In April 2026, the council launched an online planning enquiry tool to help residents and local businesses understand planning requirements.
