Gippsland

Gippsland offers unspoilt beaches, pristine rainforests, snowfields, hiking and riding trails which provide backdrops for wineries and food producers, festivals for residents and tourists to indulge in all year long.

Stretching from outer Melbourne to the eastern-most point of Victoria, Gippsland's economy is predominantly based around natural resources and commodities, with agriculture, forestry, dairy and pastoral industries, fishing, and coal mining, oil and gas extraction and processing, and is home to the state’s electricity industry.

Gippsland has a strong tourism industry, which attracts a growing market from metropolitan Melbourne and local residents, and has significant potential to broaden its appeal. Some key tourism assets include the Gippsland Lakes, Phillip Island, Wilsons Promontory and the alpine country.
