City of Port Phillip is proud to announce the release of its first Annual Advocacy Report, marking a significant milestone in our commitment to transparent, proactive, and impactful advocacy on behalf of our community.

The Annual Advocacy Report 2024/25 presents a comprehensive overview of Council’s advocacy efforts throughout the past financial year. It highlights the key issues championed, the strategic partnerships formed, and the tangible outcomes delivered for our community.

This report reflects Council’s ongoing commitment to amplifying the voices and needs of our residents across all levels of government and sectors. It also reinforces our dedication to transparency by ensuring that, wherever appropriate, decision-making processes, policy development, and the supporting data and information are made publicly accessible for the benefit of the community.

The full Annual Advocacy Report 2024/25 is now available via the button below, and we encourage all community members to read the report and learn more about our advocacy priorities and achievements. 

This year’s report highlights several major achievements, including successful funding applications, new partnerships, and progress on critical infrastructure projects. 

Council’s advocacy work is guided by the Advocacy Strategy 2024-28. This document directs how we approach strategic priorities which are informed by ongoing engagement with residents, local businesses, and community organisations. The Annual Advocacy Report 2024/25 demonstrates Council’s commitment to accountability and continuous improvement, providing a transparent record of our activities and outcomes.
