Moonee Valley City Council

About

Moonee Valley City Council traces its roots back to December 1994, when it was established following the amalgamation of the City of Essendon and the City of Keilor. This union brought together a rich history of community service and local governance, creating a new entity dedicated to the people of Melbourne's north-western suburbs. Situated on the traditional lands of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people, the Council has grown to become a pivotal institution in the region, managing a diverse landscape that includes vibrant residential precincts, bustling commercial hubs, and expansive green spaces. Over the years, the organisation has expanded its scope and capabilities, now employing nearly 1,000 dedicated professionals who share a commitment to public service. The Council's journey has been defined by a continuous drive for improvement and innovation, evident in its strategic long-term vision, MV2040. This ambitious roadmap guides the Council's efforts to create a city that is fair, thriving, connected, green, and beautiful. By embracing modern governance practices and fostering a collaborative workplace culture, Moonee Valley City Council has adapted to the changing needs of its community, offering flexible working arrangements and a supportive environment for its staff. Today, the Council provides more than 200 critical services, from maintaining local infrastructure and waste management to delivering maternal and child health programs. Its commitment to sustainability is reflected in its carbon-neutral operations and extensive environmental initiatives. As it looks to the future, Moonee Valley City Council remains steadfast in its mission to enhance the wellbeing of its residents, ensuring that the municipality remains a great place to live, work, and visit for generations to come.
