On Tuesday, 19th May 2026, AFL Gippsland officially introduced the Gippsland Charter at a combined meeting of Senior and Junior Heads of Leagues hosted at Lowanna College.
With all local leagues, Netball Victoria, and regional Umpire Associations in attendance, the meeting marked a landmark collective commitment to work towards a collaborative 10-year vision for the future of football and netball across Gippsland.
The evening also served as a formal welcome to AFL Gippsland’s new Region Council Chair, Karen Cain, who was officially introduced to stakeholders.

The presentation slides from the evening are available below.
What’s Next? As the project steps up its engagement with the Gippsland football and netball community, this website will serve as a central hub, listing upcoming consultation dates, project updates, and key milestones as we build this shared vision together.
