Equine in Nillumbik (the “Plan”) is a plan that responds to the Nillumbik Shire Council Plan 2017-2021 that lists the development of an Equine Industry and Activity Plan as a priority action. It outlines the Shire’s long history in equine, and ongoing, strong participation in the sector, discusses the status of the sector, and recognises significant opportunities. These include; increasing support for local clubs, responding to infrastructure needs, and the importance of safe, off-road, shared trails, promoting support for equine economic development and encouraging informed land management and emergency preparedness through education and collaboration.
