Help shape the future of Brimbank

Brimbank council is calling on locals to share their views and ideas to help shape Brimbank’s future.

Council has created the ‘Brimbank Community Voice’ program, aimed at giving community members a chance to be more involved and have their voice heard.

Members will have the opportunity to give feedback and ideas to council and help design and deliver services that meet community needs, taking part in workshops, focus groups, discussions, surveys and more.

Council is particularly looking to hear from 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 or operate a business in Brimbank with three or more employees.

Council is also calling for people who come from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, including Vietnamese, Arabic, Macedonian, Cantonese and Punjabi.

Those who don’t belong to any of these groups are still welcome to join the program.

Council will have different opportunities to participate available, including online, face-to-face, or over the phone with no specific time commitment required.

Brimbank Community Voice is open to residents, ratepayers and business owners in Brimbank. The program is open to people of different ages (aged 18 years and older), genders, cultures, identities and abilities.
