The Northern Metropolitan Partnership was established by the Victorian Government as a way for local communities to engage directly with state and local governments and advise the Victorian Government of the top priorities across the region.
The 2020 engagement program has now closed. Thanks to all who participated and our guest presenters at our Transport Forum.
Building on previous years, this year engagement focused on your experience of living more locally, and on two priority areas:
The Northern Partnership is working together with councils across the region to develop the Northern Integrated Transport Strategy.
To ensure this strategy is relevant for people in the Northern Region of Melbourne, we’d like to understand how people move through the region, and why or how coronavirus (COVID-19) has changed this.
The Northern Partnership wants to hear from young people aged 12-25 and organisations that work with young people to understand the impact of coronavirus (COVID-19) on the lives of young people in the Northern Region.
We'd like to hear about the effects of coronavirus (COVID-19) on young peoples’ health and wellbeing, social connections and employment, as well as views on future job prospects and any opportunities to improve these during the recovery from coronavirus (COVID-19).
In 2017 the Victorian Government established six Metropolitan Partnerships to better understand and respond to the needs of Melbourne’s communities. The Metropolitan Partnerships work with communities, stakeholders and local government to develop advice for the Victorian Government on the top priorities for each region. The six Partnerships include Inner Metro, Inner South-east, Western, Northern, Eastern and Southern.
Each Partnership is made up of volunteer members from across the region with a mix of backgrounds, experience and networks, the CEOs of each local council, and a Deputy Secretary from the state government.
The Victorian Government acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the Traditional Custodians of the land and acknowledges and pays respect to their Elders, past and present.
