Brimbank Council is calling for residents to have their say on the draft ‘We Are Brimbank’ Integrated Community Vision 2050, Council Plan and Health and Wellbeing Plan for 2025-2029. This is our roadmap for shaping a brighter future for our community and city, and positioning Brimbank to become a vibrant gateway to the west.
We Are Brimbank outlines Council’s strategic direction and priorities and is directly aligned with our long-term Community Vision. Importantly, the Health and Wellbeing Plan is fully integrated into the Council Plan. This ensures that health, wellbeing and equity are embedded across all areas of Council’s work.
Over the next four years, this plan will guide Council to achieve ‘A proud and vibrant Brimbank that is beautiful, thriving, healthy and connected’.
Brimbank is entering a period of transformation, with over $4 billion in committed State and Federal funding and $2 billion already invested in major infrastructure. This includes upgrades across transport, health, education, and residential development.
A ‘Future City’ lens sets the direction for sustainable growth, ensuring Brimbank is a vibrant, liveable and inclusive place for people and businesses, with future-focused planning that informs private and public investment and the delivery of infrastructure and services. Yet our community still faces challenges and influences such as climate change, shifts in the economy, growing population and changing expectations.
For the past year, Council has been working alongside the community to inform the development of the We Are Brimbank plan. Through meaningful consultations and discussions, we’ve heard diverse voices from all areas of the community and learned about what matters most.
The community now has an opportunity to provide feedback on the draft plan. Input provided will inform the final We Are Brimbank plan, which will be presented to the council for adoption in the October Council meeting.
Brimbank Mayor, Cr Thuy Dang said we are proud to have worked with our community to build the draft We Are Brimbank plan, which sets Council’s strategic priorities and reflects our shared aspirations shaped by Councillor and community input.
“Your voices have been key in helping us to develop the draft plan and it was good to see that we shared collective hopes for a transformed Brimbank that is united, healthy and full of opportunities.
“I now invite everyone to have your say on the draft plan as your input will help inform the final version of the We Are Brimbank plan.
“Through ongoing community engagement, innovation, and sustainable growth, we are shaping a city where everyone can thrive, today and for generations to come,” said Mayor Dang.
