Local Community Programs
Start your own Initiative
There are plenty of resources for local action available for individuals and groups to get your project happening. If you have a great idea, but no people or funding, we can help.
Our programs for the general community are also about making Port Phillip more sustainable, because sustainability is all about community! Port Phillip offers resources in training to build your skills and confidence to contribute as a citizen.
