In 2004, City of Melbourne staff helped develop four fundamental and unifying values with the desire to make a positive difference in the activities and services Council provides. These values are: integrity, respect, excellence and courage.
In 2008, the value of 'accountability' was introduced to complement the four existing values.

Accountability
We take personal responsibility for decisions and actions to achieve agreed outcomes.
Respect

Excellence
