Have your say!

Council is developing a new long-term plan for central Footscray.

We’re dreaming big for Footscray, and have come up with some big ideas to make our local economy, our residents and visitors thrive.

We want to know what you love about Footscray that we should protect or improve?

You still have two weeks to let us know what you think of the draft Opportunities Paper, which will help us draft the Footscray Structure Plan.

Feedback closes midnight Sunday 28 June 2026 at www.yourcityyourvoice.com.au/footscray

Don’t forget to let us know about local pollution hotspots affecting you.

If there’s a place in Maribyrnong where the air doesn’t feel quite right, we want to hear from you.

Your input will help guide where new air quality sensors are placed as part of a new RMIT-led project.

Drop a pin on the interactive map by Sunday 31 May at: https://www.yourcityyourvoice.com.au/AirQuality/understanding-air-quality
