The Loddon Campaspe Regional Partnership is one of 9 Partnerships across the state, established in recognition that local communities are in the best position to understand the challenges and opportunities faced by their region.
The Loddon Campaspe region has a diverse population and strong economy based on agriculture, retail, health and manufacturing.
Bendigo, one of Victoria’s largest and fastest growing regional cities, lies at the heart of the region and is a prosperous and vibrant hub of cultural and economic activity. Many migrant and refugee communities have settled nearby.
Our region includes:
- 6 municipalities (Campaspe Shire, Central Goldfields Shire, City of Greater Bendigo, Loddon Shire, Macedon Ranges Shire , Mount Alexander Shire)
- a Gross Regional Product of $15.9 billion
- a population of 260,000
- more than one in 10 residents were born overseas.
The Loddon Campaspe Regional Partnership actively consults and engages with thousands of people living and working in our community. While Partnership projects have been supported in successive budgets, our work is much more than winning funding at Budget time.
We are active in bringing different groups and parts of Government together in our region, getting people talking, and listening to the needs and expectations of our communities, then providing Governments with insight to assist in policy design to effectively service our region.
