Moonee Valley City Council delivering Advocacy Strategy
Published on Tuesday, 20 December 2022
We’ve released our 2022 Advocacy Report, outlining the progress made towards our key advocacy priorities in the past year, including securing a commitment from the Victorian Government to deliver a train station in Keilor East/Airport West.
Our Advocacy Strategy 2022-2025 identifies our community’s top priorities, and this year we were successful in securing some exciting outcomes, including:
- An election commitment from the Victorian Government to build a new train station in on the border of Keilor East, Airport West and Keilor Park by 2029 as part of Melbourne’s new airport rail line
- Funding via election commitment from the Australian Government to support the restoration of Moonee Ponds Creek
- Funding from the Victorian Government for local school improvements in Moonee Valley
- Funding from the Victorian Government’s Living Libraries Infrastructure Program to refurbish and expand Ascot Vale Library
- Funding from the Victorian and Australian Government to support extensive live music and events across the municipality
- Critical planning controls to be introduced by the Victorian Government across our three main waterways – Steele Creek, Maribyrnong River and Moonee Ponds Creek
- Funding from the Victorian Government for the planting of trees to grow our tree canopy, and
- Funding from the Australian Government to support our local employment and leadership programs for women from migrant and refugee backgrounds in Moonee Valley.
