Community Workshop Sessions

We need people who can commit to attending all the sessions below.

Payment

If you are selected to take part, we will give you a gift voucher for $480 to thank you for your time and feedback after completing all four sessions.

Supports

We will work with you to provide supports you may need to participate, such as transport assistance, interpretation, child-friendly spaces, hearing or vision support.  

Help us shape Brimbank's future. We need you and your ideas to review our Community Vision and develop the new Council Plan 2025-29.

Our Community Vision will capture how the community wants Brimbank to be in 2050. The Council Plan will set out how we work towards that Vision over the next 4 years, including how we support community health and well-being. Both will influence our financial planning in the future.

Our Community Vision 2040

In 2021, the community came together with Council and agreed on the following Community Vision:

By 2040, the Brimbank community will be healthy and safe, and we will be united through a sense of belonging and pride. Our city will be inclusive, resilient, innovative and vibrant, and our people will share equally in the City's prosperity and opportunity. The environment will be protected and enhanced, and Brimbank’s diverse neighbourhoods and housing will offer something for everyone.

As we look towards 2050, we want to know if the community vision still matches the aspirations of our community or if it needs to change.

Help shape the Council Plan 2025-29

Every 4 years, we develop a Council Plan that guides the work we do. The Plan sets out our priorities to help us achieve our Community Vision. It also helps us prioritise the health and well-being of our community and includes the Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plan.

We value our community’s ideas and need your input to ensure we get it right. Your feedback will shape this plan, and what you tell us about your needs and priorities will help guide it and its actions.

We want to know:

• what you love about Brimbank
• your vision for the future
• what you want Council to focus on in 2025-29.

Share your ideas

We’re working with our community to have deep discussions about the things that matter most to you. This is your opportunity to get involved and contribute to these discussions.

We will ask community members to apply to take part in the Deliberative Panel. We will meet late 2024 and early 2025 to talk about:

• key issues in Brimbank
• our community’s health needs
• how we manage our assets
• what we need to prioritise to achieve our Community Vision.

If you want the opportunity to be involved, register your interest here before Monday 18 November 2024.
