Launch Housing is one of Melbourne’s largest independent and secular community-based organisations that bring housing and homelessness solutions together under one roof.  Our mission is to end homelessness.  In our support of over 15,000 people last year through the spectrum of crisis accommodation all the way to permanent supported housing, two areas remain key.  The first is with ‘families and new beginnings’ providing children, families and young people the opportunity to build an optimistic future.  Second, we focus on ‘health and wellbeing’ because housing is healthcare and in a progressive city such as Melbourne, no one should be living and dying on our streets.

Ending street homelessness is a team effort.  Many voices are needed to help drive this change – including yours. We have launched the Melbourne Zero campaign to help normalize solutions, solidarity, and public support for the vision of a Melbourne that is recognized around the world as world leading in ending homelessness.  For more details on how you can join the Melbourne Zero Network, check out the campaign at melbournezero.org.au.

In 1919, Maurice Blackburn set the course for social justice in Australia, starting a law firm to defend and advance the rights of ordinary Australians. One hundred and one years on we can look back on a century of widening access to justice in small and big ways.  From thousands of successful injury compensation claims to ground-breaking legal wins – the 40-hour working week, equal pay for indigenous Australians and the first successful shareholder class action, to name only a few – Maurice Blackburn has made an important and enduring contribution to making Australia the land of the “fair go” it aspires to be.

Today, Maurice Blackburn is a national firm with over 30 offices throughout Australia and more than 1000 of the country’s best and most respected legal professionals. And we are only just getting started. Our founding mission – to extend the benefits and protections of the legal system to the many and not just the few – remains as relevant as ever. We have big plans for a second century of standing up for the dignity of every Australian.

SRLA is the statutory authority responsible for planning and delivering the largest infrastructure project in Victoria’s history, and the state’s biggest investment in transport and precinct development.

Suburban Rail Loop (SRL) is an integrated city-shaping transport and precincts project; a 90km orbital rail line that will travel through Melbourne’s middle suburbs, connecting every major train line from Frankston around to Werribee via Melbourne Airport – putting the wheel on our state’s hub-and-spoke train network.

This mega infrastructure project will not only transform how people move around Melbourne and Victoria, it will also help recalibrate how and where the city grows in the decades ahead. Along with its transformational connectivity benefits, SRL will trigger investment in new housing and jobs in neighbourhoods around its underground stations.

It will help Melbourne become a ‘city of centres’, with SRL station precincts growing as vibrant places for people to live, learn, work and play – and as smart places for business to invest, expand and innovate. SRL will mean more jobs closer to where people want to live, greater access to health, research and education opportunities, and better local services.

The Victorian and Australian governments have already invested a combined $14b in SRL East (26km of twin tunnels and six new underground stations between Cheltenham and Box Hill) to deliver early planning and construction, and to get major works underway. Structure planning is has now commenced for each of these SRL precincts, including extensive consultation with those communities and others.

Melbourne’s West is poised for major growth in the visitor economy. The region receives over four million visitors each year, with the most recent research showing Melbourne’s West will be the fastest growing tourism sub-region in metropolitan Melbourne over the next decade.

The value of the local visitor economy is substantial. For Melbourne’s west the visitor economy contributes around 12,000 jobs (Source REMPLAN 2018) being 4.5% of the region’s employment. The value of the visitor economy is estimated to be $1.45 billon GRP (2017 Satellite Accounts). Melbourne’s west as a subregion of Melbourne provides an economic contribution which is easily the equivalent of the most prominent tourism regions outside of Melbourne, at similar levels to Geelong and Bellarine, Gippsland and Goldfields.

Western Melbourne Tourism Inc (WMT) is an association incorporated for the purposes of promoting and fostering the growth of the visitor sector across Melbourne’s western metropolitan region. WMT operates on a membership model primarily funded by the cities of Hobsons Bay, Wyndham, Maribyrnong, Moonee Valley, Brimbank, and Melton. It is overseen by an independent board with representation from these six western metropolitan councils, as well as Parks Victoria and Victoria University and representatives from the region’s tourism industry and arts sector.

There are substantial developments for the region in the pipeline including the Melbourne Airport Rail Link, the continued growth of Avalon Airport as a second international air terminal, the Werribee Open Range Zoo Masterplan, Scienceworks Museum of the Future and the proposed new Western United A-League soccer Stadium at Tarneit. These developments will further add to the economic value of the visitor economy.

As a regional board WMT is cognisant of the growth opportunities and the need to prepare for them. Our organisation offers a partnership between Councils, universities, tourism operators and local businesses with a dedicated focus on the visitor economy. We endeavor to work proactively with industry bodies including the Victoria Tourism Industry Council and Visit Victoria, as well as the Committee for Melbourne now, to build awareness around the substantial opportunities for our region and Greater Melbourne.
