Go west! Maribyrnong's historical influences

With a 2002 Heritage Strategy needing an update Maribyrnong City Council are undertaking a Heritage Plan Review project in 2022.

We were engaged to review the existing recommended historical themes and summarise them so they would be suitable to use during community and stakeholder consultation, including adding them to the website for broader community comment. Comments are now closed but you can visit MCC’s history and heritage page for more information or to read about the work on the new Heritage Plan, and we’ve published the summaries as an illustrated article for more enjoyable reading.
