Benalla West

The Victorian Government is investing $10 million to improve Benalla West Estate, 2.5km west of central Benalla.

The project’s goals include improving housing, public areas and connections with the surrounding community.

To guide the improvements, a masterplan will be prepared with input from residents, the broader community and other stakeholders.

The masterplan is a blueprint for change, which shows how the estate can be improved in stages over time. It will show how the $10 million will be spent to kick-start the long-term change that aims to make Benalla West a better place to live.

Project timeline

Community consultation

The strongest community plans are community-led.

Consultation is at the heart of the planning process and we will be consulting with stakeholders and the community throughout the project to understand their needs and to make sure that the plan delivers the best possible outcomes.

Community committee

The Benalla West Estate Community Committee, established in February 2020, provides residents and community groups the opportunity to take part in the project and provide detailed feedback. The committee was established following an expression of interest process in late 2019.
