There is plenty of interest in the football community as to what path the Gippsland League will take in the future.
The league is currently working through an internal expansion review, which was established as part of the organisations strategic plan implemented in 2022.
A key action area was to establish sub-committees to explore specific potential areas of growth for the Gippsland League including expansion of the current competitions offered by the Gippsland League.
The Board of Management in June moved to create an internal working group to examine possible actionable areas of concern, opportunity or growth and sustainability for the pathways and competitions offered by the Gippsland League.
As part of this project, some key areas to review will include current Gippsland League football and netball competitions, female football and the potential of additional Gippsland League offered competitions.
The review commenced in July 2024 and will be completed on or before October 31, 2024.
Following the review any recommendations will be assessed by the Board of Management.
As this process is in the review phase, no formal decisions or proposals have been made for 2025 or beyond including around the current information circulating that Gippsland League will be creating a second division for season 2025.
