Mount Egerton Small Township Enhancement Program (STEP) Masterplan

Project Overview

Mount Egerton has been identified for inclusion in Moorabool Shire Council’s Small Township Enhancement Program (STEP). This initiative focuses on revitalising townships across the Shire by elevating amenities and cultivating a stronger sense of place, identity, and community through considered approaches grounded in Landscape Architecture and integrated infrastructure planning. You can provide your feedback on this project until 5pm AEST, Monday 15 September 2025.

The purpose of this community consultation is to identify the specific needs of the community based on collected feedback.  Each opportunity will be ordered in terms of hierarchy based upon community interest, and this information will be provided to the designers commissioned to create the Mt Egerton STEP Masterplan.

Examples of some key enhancements are: 

  • Additional footpaths within the township
  • Reserve upgrades & activation (DEECA or Council land)
  • Gateway Signage
  • Landscaping & tree planting 
  • Wayfinding signage  
  • Improved noticeboard 

Council has a committed budget of $125,000 per financial year for all STEP projects. There may be potential for further funding in the future.
