Advocacy

The population of the City of Maribyrnong is expected to experience 66 per cent growth by 2041 and requires State and Federal Government support to cope with the resulting pressure placed on the municipality's services, public transport and roads, and general livability. 

Maribyrnong's diverse and growing population, mix of industry and recent investment in our transport network makes it an attractive place to invest.

With further State and Federal Government investment, the City of Maribyrnong can continue to develop into a sustainable and livable city that can play an active role in boosting Melbourne's growth.

Maribyrnong City Council has heard the community's calls for better jobs, transport, mental health, sustainability and cultural outcomes, which has resulted in the development of strategic plans that outline our advocacy priorities.

We call on State and Federal Governments to support the City of Maribyrnong during this time of unprecedented growth.
