What we do

Meaningful work, unforgettable experiences

We advocate as a collective for support and funding from State and Federal Government; we collaborate on initiatives and projects that support our communities; we share ideas and information to improve the liveability or our communities through, cultural, environmental and health initiatives, to grow our economies and create jobs. We want to decrease the number of people who need to commute out of their suburbs for jobs, education or to access services.

Advocacy

We are advocating to Invest in the West to provide services and infrastructure not only for our current population but also for our future growth. We represent the fastest growing region in Australia with over one million residents.

Focus on business precincts

We will continue to promote the priority business precincts of Cobblebank, Footscray, Sunshine, and Werribee and across the region encompassing the five councils of Brimbank, Hobsons Bay, Maribyrnong, Melton and Wyndham

A Connected West

Leverage the region's unique mix of air, sea, road and rail infrastructure and facilities, advocate for further major improvements in transport and communication projects, and seek better transport connectivity that increases efficiency, productivity and delivers quality liveability.
