Greater Bendigo Closes All Public Consultation Projects Temporarily

The Let's Talk Greater Bendigo website recorded no projects open for public feedback on 18 July 2026.

Local residents who track council planning matters now face a quiet period on the dedicated consultation site. Several proposals reached updated status in the first half of July, yet none moved into active feedback rounds at the time of the latest check. This pause follows a series of recent postings that closed or advanced without new comment windows.

Projects with recent activity

Entries on the site show the Huntly Structure Plan last updated on 14 July 2026. The Managed Growth Strategy received an update on 7 July 2026. A Flood and Waterways Studies page was refreshed on 1 July 2026. Earlier in the month, the Local Public Holiday proposal carried a 15 July 2026 date and the Greater Bendigo Lawn Bowls Facilities and Participation Plan showed 29 June 2026. Three other projects sat in the closed section, with the Heritage Design Guidelines updated 1 July 2026, Governance rules on 9 April 2026 and the Bendigo Writers Festival Review on 18 December 2025.

These dates represent the only concrete markers available on the platform. No counts of submissions, participant numbers or response rates appear in the listings. The site simply states that zero projects sit in the open category and that none of the in-progress items currently seek feedback.

What residents can do

People in Bendigo and surrounding localities can still subscribe to the weekly GB News and Let's Talk eNews bulletins through the same platform. The site also directs users to the main City of Greater Bendigo website for further information on planning and policy work. Checking back remains the direct way to learn when any new consultation round opens.
