Monash Advocacy Projects

Advocacy is how we seek action from politicians, government departments and key stakeholders. We do this through lobbying, submissions to Australian and Victorian governments, community engagement and public campaigns.

There are many opportunities to enable current and future generations to enjoy work, lifestyle, transport and community experiences in Monash. We need other levels of government to support future growth by investing in the infrastructure and services that our community needs.

The above document sets the scene for Monash’s advocacy efforts. It outlines key projects, shaped by community need and consultation, where we are seeking investment from other levels of government.

What we do

We run community centres and libraries, maintain local parks and reserves and assist with early years and maternal health programs. We collect rubbish and dispose of waste, maintain local roads, support young people through youth programs and run activities and programs that engage and support our older residents.

What makes Monash liveable is our safe neighbourhoods, the ease of getting around, pride in our local areas, and a significant range of local employment opportunities.

Our Council Plan (2021–2025) sets out our strategy for how we continue to enjoy the things we love about Monash, how we can address the pressures our city faces and make the most of the opportunities that come from being a popular place to live, learn, work and play.
