Our new EV fast charger sparks joy ⚡🚗🔋

We’re excited to announce our first electric vehicle (EV) fast charger, located in the off-street carpark at 228-234 Park Street, South Melbourne.

The fast charger lives up to its name – it has 4 charging stations available and can fully charge most vehicles within 30 to 60 minutes!

To support our community and expand our EV charging network, we're working with providers to install four more fast chargers across the City soon.

Welcome to our new palms! 🌴

Today, Melbourne 9 (M9) released an independent report by SGS Economics and Planning showing that significant infrastructure investment will be needed across inner Melbourne to support future population growth, including in areas such as Fishermans Bend.

Over the next 25 years, inner Melbourne is expected to accommodate around 1 million additional residents, 525,000 new homes and 618,000 new jobs.

To support this growth, M9 Councils will need around $923 million in capital investment each year to deliver the local infrastructure required by growing communities.

Today, we're joining eight neighbouring councils in calling for coordinated investment in transport, community facilities, public spaces and other essential infrastructure.

No matter who forms government after the election, the opportunity is clear: partner with local government and invest in the transport, community infrastructure and services needed to support Melbourne's growing communities.

Growth must be matched by the infrastructure communities need to thrive.

Celebrating Wear It Purple Day 🌈💜

Today we joined communities across Australia in celebrating Wear It Purple Day and showing our support for LGBTIQA+ young people.

Wear It Purple Day is a reminder of the importance of creating communities where everyone feels safe, valued and free to be themselves.

At Emerald Hill Library, young people came together for an afternoon of creativity, connection and conversation centred on pride, inclusion and belonging.

Meanwhile, the team at St Kilda Library got into the spirit by wearing purple and sharing some of their favourite reads that celebrate diverse voices and experiences.

You'll also see St Kilda Town Hall illuminated in purple tonight as we proudly stand with LGBTQIA+ young people and communities across our City.
