Local Councils are one of your best first stops for getting involved in your local community and having your say in the future of where you live. Your local council is always looking for input and there are many tools available to do so. Here's some of the ways you can get involved in the West:
Maribyrnong:
The City of Maribyrnong has a nifty new app you can download on your phone for reporting issues, accessing news and events, finding local facilities and more. Those in Maribyrnong might also want to check out the latest round of community grants which are open until September 30th. There's a range of grants available so if you're running a local group it's good to check the grants out! Braybrook residents or frequent visitors to Braybrook might also want to have your say on the local transport survey. You will go in the draw to win a printing voucher from local social enterprise Print Side Up! Survey closes on August 25th so get on it quick!
