Alpine Shire Council invites public submissions on the proposed road deviation and land exchange within freehold land in the Bright Valley Development.
Community members are invited to provide feedback on the proposal to deviate an unused government road traversing through freehold land within the Bright Valley Development and the subsequent land exchange.
The reason for the proposed deviation is to improve the connection angle at the Great Alpine Road intersection and avoid various constraints preventing the construction of a road within the existing road reserve, notably the gradient at several points along the reserve.
Importantly, the deviation will also avoid the removal of native vegetation at the southern end of the reserve.
The deviation will have no impact on the trees along the Great Alpine Road.
Community members can view the plans and make a submission online by visiting https://engage.alpineshire.vic.gov.au/road-deviation-and-land-exchange-within-bright-valley-development
The report for the road deviation and land exchange is contained within the agenda for the August Ordinary Council Meeting, which community members can access online via Council's website: https://www.alpineshire.vic.gov.au/about-us/our-council/council-meetings/council-meetings-2025
The public exhibition period will close on Tuesday, 23 September 2025.
