The City of Port Phillip is an Active and Creative City, where opportunities for people to enrich mind and body abound. It's a place where getting involved is encouraged and the richness of individual experience is treasured.
The Active and Creative City Framework goes beyond rhetoric and sets out a concrete plan for the council's major recreational and cultural providers (Sport and Recreation, Youth Services, Arts and Festivals Services and the Library Service). Within the Active and Creative City Framework, Council has endorsed four key strategies: the Sport and Recreation Strategy, Creative Futures Strategy, Youth Development Strategy and Events Management Strategy.
For more information on the context in which these strategies operate view the Active and Creative Context Overview on-line:  Active and Creative City Context Overview. This illustrates how these strategies relate to and are informed by the Council Plan and the Community plan.
If you use these services or are passionate about culture, recreation and opportunities to participate for people of all ages in the city you should find out more about these strategies.
