Our ambitious goals for the City of Melbourne cannot be achieved by one organisation alone, and some issues are outside of our direct control as a local government.
That’s why we engage, mobilise and collaborate with all levels of government, the private sector and the community to achieve our collective vision.
Through advocacy and partnership, we seek policy commitments, funding and action from decision-makers. This helps us deliver on the projects and priorities that make Melbourne a liveable, prosperous, inclusive and resilient place to live, work, study and play.
What we are advocating for:
- Melbourne as a place for people: Building liveable, inclusive, sustainable communities where everyone has access to high-quality housing, transport connections and community infrastructure
- Melbourne as a place for investment: Positioning Melbourne as a place for investment and innovation, boosting employment opportunities and precinct connection
- Melbourne as a place that delivers for the community: Empowering the City of Melbourne to deliver facilities, open space and infrastructure to meet the needs of a growing and diverse community
