Update 8 January 2024

Broad community engagement ended for the Maroondah 2050 Community Vision on 6 December 2023 and all submissions received are currently being reviewed. Expressions of interest for the Maroondah Community Panel are also currently being reviewed and selected applicants will be notified shortly.



Your Maroondah - Our Future

Imagine Maroondah in 2050. What do you hope our community is like? What do we need to prioritise? What are the things we most need to change? Share your thoughts, aspirations and ideas to help shape the future of Maroondah.

For almost 10 years, the Maroondah 2040 - Our future together Community Vision has provided a roadmap to help our community and Council work with partner organisations and other levels of government to enhance Maroondah as a great place to live, work, play and visit.

Maroondah City Council is working in partnership with our community to create a new Maroondah 2050 Community Vision for our City which reflects our community’s aspirations and priorities.

What's been happening

Between August to early December 2023, Council has been consulting with the community to hear your thoughts, aspirations, and ideas on the future of Maroondah.

There have been many ways to get involved, including:

  • A survey
  • An online quick poll and ideas board
  • Onsite community consultations held at ward pop ups, Council events and at Realm
  • Following us on Facebook or signing up to Maroondah News to keep up to date.

Community consultation is open until 6 December 2023.

The next stage

Broad community engagement ended for the Maroondah 2050 Community Vision on 6 December 2023 and all submissions received are currently being reviewed.

Expressions of interest for the Maroondah Community Panel are also currently being reviewed and selected applicants will be notified shortly.

The Community Panel is being formed to assist with the important next stage of community engagement, which will run from February to April 2024.

The Panel will be made up of a diverse group of 30-40 community members, who will come together to explore the results of the broad community engagement process, as well as discuss the outcomes of the background research that has been carried out and to then work together in partnership with Council to draft the Maroondah 2050 Community Vision.

To participate in the Community Panel, you must:

  • Live, study or work in Maroondah
  • Be aged 18 years or older
  • Commit to being available between February and April 2024 to attend Maroondah Community Panel workshops
  • Not be a Maroondah City Council Councillor or employee.

Workshop sessions will be held on weekday evenings or weekends, with a total face to face time commitment of 15-20 hours. It is expected that no more than four workshop sessions will be held. Outside of workshop sessions there may be some ‘homework’ activities for panellists to undertake, for example reading relevant materials. These sessions will be supported by Council’s Maroondah 2050 Project Team and run by an external facilitator.

By participating on the Maroondah 2050 Community Panel, you will be provided with an exciting opportunity to contribute to this important roadmap for the future of Maroondah.
