Committee for Melbourne

The Committee for Melbourne is an apolitical, not-for-profit member-based entity that brings together over 140 organisations from Greater Melbourne’s business, academic and civic sectors whose common purpose is to shape a better future for Melbourne.

As an independent organisation we represent no single interest group or political position, but seek to challenge conventional thinking and to develop innovative ideas to continue to enhance our position as an economically prosperous and highly liveable global city.

Founded in the 1980s by a group of passionate Melbourne business leaders, the Committee was formed to stimulate our economy and help cement Melbourne as a city of international significance. The first of its kind worldwide, the Committee today aims to be the pre-eminent organisation engaging with leading organisations dedicated to creating a better Melbourne.

The Committee has been a major driving force behind the development and progression of our city working on many projects over the years, such as the Docklands redevelopment, privatisation of Melbourne Airport, progressing medical technology through the BioMelbourne Network, and the Western Bypass and CityLink projects. Most recently, the Committee outlined best practice principles for an independent infrastructure prioritisation entity, which were adopted by Infrastructure Victoria.
