⚽🦘 Will you be following two teams over the next few weeks?

Just like the World Cup, Hobsons Bay is home to a diverse range of cultures and backgrounds. It's what makes us such an inclusive and connected place to live.

It's also a win-win for some of you when the Socceroos play - how lucky 😉.

Mayor Diana Grima and Cr Rayane Hawli took to parliament last week to call for transport investment in Hobsons Bay.

As a proud member of LeadWest, we joined councils from across Melbourne’s west to launch the Let’s Get It Done campaign, which advocates for the delivery of critical projects already promised to us:

🚆 The Western Rail Plan.
✈️ Melbourne Airport Rail via Sunshine and the Sunshine Precinct Masterplan.
🛣️ The Outer Metropolitan Ring.
🚗 Western Highway upgrades and key arterial road improvements.
🚌 Better bus connections across Melbourne’s west.

We are committed to advocating for a connected and reliable transport network in Hobsons Bay.
