Share your views and ideas with Council and help shape Brimbank’s future

Community members have said they want to be more involved in making Brimbank a great place to live. We want this too. That’s why we’ve created Brimbank Community Voice.

As a member you will have the opportunity to give feedback and ideas to Council. You’ll help us design and deliver services that meet community needs.

You don't need special skills, just an interest in contributing to your community. Members take part in workshops, focus groups, discussions, surveys and more.

Why your voice is important

Brimbank Community Voice is a group of ordinary people who want to make a difference. Our community is diverse, and we want to hear all viewpoints.

There are some people in our community that we don't hear from as often. We are looking for more members who:

• are between 18-25 years of age
• are 75 years of age or older
• identify as LGBTQIA+
• are Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander
• experience disability
• operate a business in Brimbank with 3 or more employees.

There are also some cultural groups that are more common in Brimbank. We want to hear from more people who are:

• Vietnamese
• Arabic
• Macedonian
• Cantonese
• Punjabi.

If you aren't from any of these groups, we still want to hear from you.
