About Advocacy

Wyndham City provides a range of infrastructure and services that support the wellbeing of the local community.

We run community centres and libraries, provide early years and maternal health services, and maintain local parks and open spaces. We also maintain local roads, and provide rubbish collection and waste disposal services, along with a range of other local infrastructure and services designed to improve the lives of Wyndham residents.

But there are many issues and service gaps affecting our community that we can’t solve on our own. We’re largely reliant on other levels of government to fund and provide the infrastructure and services our community needs to prosper.

That’s why it’s important for us to communicate our needs and seek action from politicians, government departments, and other key stakeholders.

This is what we call advocacy – and it’s one of the most important functions we perform. Click below to read detailed information about our approach to advocacy in 2018 and beyond.

Securing Wyndham’s Future is council’s advocacy strategy that is updated regularly to reflect community needs and government policy and funding changes. Find out what we need to help Wyndham secure its future as a liveable and prosperous city here:

I Love Kinder

Kinder gives our kids the best start at a critical time in their development and helps prepare them for school. This is all at risk if the Federal Government doesn’t commit to ongoing funding - join the campaign and show how much you love kinder. 

Schools4Wyndham

Wyndham's population is booming, but the Victorian Government isn't building schools quickly enough. We need new primary and secondary schools to be funded and built ASAP - support our campaign and help give our schoolkids their best chance to thrive.
