The Victorian Planning Authority proudly acknowledges Victoria’s Aboriginal community and their rich culture and pays respect to their Elders past and present.

We acknowledge Aboriginal people as Australia’s first peoples and as the Traditional Owners and custodians of the land and water on which we rely.

We recognise and value the ongoing contribution of Aboriginal people and communities to Victorian life and how this enriches us.

We embrace the spirit of reconciliation, working towards the equality of outcomes and ensuring an equal voice.

Can I join a Community Reference Group?

We want to ensure we hear a broad range of views from the community while planning for the future of Niddrie and North Essendon.

We have established a Community Reference Group (CRG) where community representatives can discuss and provide their input. We will hold two Community Reference Group meetings in Niddrie/North Essendon during 2024.

Applications to join our Niddrie (Keilor Road) & North Essendon Community Reference Group have closed. We will report on the findings from the group’s meetings throughout 2024.
