Advocacy initiatives

Major investment coming to Brimbank will transform our city. We're calling on State and Federal government to drive positive change and make our city thrive.

The construction of a Melbourne Airport Rail is key to creating better connections to Melbourne Airport for residents in Metropolitan Melbourne, as well as large Victorian regional towns.

Fix the Calder Freeway

Reducing congestion and providing safety improvements to cater for population and freight growth.

Sunshine Precinct

Brimbank and Melbourne’s West is expecting billion-dollar investments in infrastructure in the next 10 years. Most of this will be in the Sunshine Precinct.

Mental health

Brimbank’s residents report lower levels of subjective wellbeing than the Victorian average, with women experiencing more psychological distress, anxiety and depression than men.

Active transport

As the population in Melbourne’s west grows rapidly and our roads are getting more congested, we want better transport options to keep Brimbank moving.

Jobs

Jobs are central to enabling strong economic and social outcomes in Brimbank.

Environmental equity

Our communities have been disproportionately affected by soil contamination, pollution and impacts on the natural environment.

Know the facts on the third runway

Melbourne Airport’s proposal for a third runway does not fully explain the significant health impacts this runway will have on the community.

Reduce harm from electronic gaming machines

Brimbank has had the highest gambling losses of any municipality in Victoria.

Sport and recreation health agenda

We're seeking to establish better sporting options for girls and women, support grass-roots sport and ensure future generations have access to the facilities they need.

Early childhood and education agenda

Council supports lifelong learning for our whole community, across all levels of education, through to adult education.
