When I was growing up in Albury in the 1960's, towns such as Yackandandah, Mytleford, Beechworth were not considered worth visiting. Today , the vibrancy of the smaller towns in the Indigo Shire is second to none. The trend for young families to relocate and drive the growth of these towns is my dream. This must be supported by the development of infrastructure & required services I.e., schools, health, roads etc. Make living in the Indigo Shire the envy of everyone.

I'm concerned that an emphasis on growth runs the risk of damaging the very things we like about these towns. Beechworth has reached a size where it's still possible (at a pinch) to walk to the shops from most homes. 

Another problem with growth is that it needs to be either onto surrounding land currently used for farming or nature conservation, or we infill existing plots. The latter means losing the spaces between houses, or the backyards. 

Growth also means more traffic, which i suspect none of us really want to see.
