Gippsland Times |A REVIEW into senior football league structures in Gippsland will be launched soon.
The AFL Gippsland Region Commission review will incorporate the Gippsland, Alberton, North Gippsland, Mid Gippsland and Ellinbank and District leagues.
A review committee is being formed, featuring representatives from AFL Gippsland and AFL Victoria and up to four independent members from across the region.
The aim of the review is to provide balanced competitions in Gippsland which promote the sustainability of clubs and increase participation.
Concerns have been raised by some clubs, particularly in west Gippsland, over their ability to compete in their current league.
The lack of balance in the Ellinbank league has been an issue for some time.
Warragul and Drouin have struggled in the Gippsland League in recent seasons.
The majority of Warragul members favoured a move away from the league, but not enough to progress the transfer.
Population changes and the geographical challenges of the region will also be considered as part of the review.
