Federal Election Advocacy
Collaborating with the different levels of government has helped Council achieve key goals and enhance the quality of life in our city.
The Priority Project Opportunities document outlines significant projects within the municipality where we are seeking partnership with the Federal Government, to help fund and deliver.
We have presented this document to the candidates running in Macnamara, inviting them to consider these initiatives in their election campaigning.
Council is also working with each candidate to support small-scale projects that align with our priorities, Council Plan, formal decisions, and assets to achieve outcomes for the City of Port Phillip. Check out what we're advocating for via the button below.
