Advocacy Priorities

Hobsons Bay is a community abundant with opportunity, as well as plenty of challenges to tackle. It has never been more vital for Council to advocate for investment in infrastructure, programs and services that meet the needs of our community. We're asking the State and Federal Government to commit to the below advocacy priority projects.

What can you do? Your voice matters!
