East Gippsland Shire Council provides governance and leadership for the local community through advocacy, decision making and action.  It is responsible for the delivery of over 100 Local Government services to the residents of East Gippsland. East Gippsland Shire covers over 21,000 square kilometres, stretching from west of Bairnsdale to the NSW border. This diverse region make up 10 per cent of the state, with over 70 per cent as National Park, State forest or other Crown land.
 
East Gippsland has an abundance of natural and environmental resources: a temperate climate, Australia’s largest navigable inland lake system, an extensive coastline and areas of stunning beauty make the Shire a popular choice for sea and tree-change lifestyle seekers.
 
The Shire's diversity and strengths also create resourcing and development challenges for Council. The high proportion of public land limits Council’s rate base, and dispersed communities spread demand and limit economies of scale for service delivery.
 
To address these challenges Council employs innovative approaches, strategic alliances and cross-sector partnerships with businesses and communities to pool resources, develop creative solutions and ensure East Gippsland has a strong, shared vision.

East Gippsland Shire Council is committed to being an accessible and inclusive employer of choice. With a focus on attracting and retaining excellent staff to ensure a high level of service delivery, we have a range of programs in place to optimise professional and personal development success. Our Corporate Centre is situated in Bairnsdale, with service centres in Lakes Entrance, Mallacoota, Omeo, Orbost and Paynesville.
