Residents of Port Phillip Would not Exist Without Your Support
Author: Campbell (Middle Park resident)
Thank you to everyone who has bought tickets to attend our Fundraising event on 30 July. If you have not done so you can buy tickets at https://www.trybooking.com/DNJGH
As a community-based volunteer organisation, we only exist to support you, but we do so only through the generous donation of people and businesses. With your help, Residents of Port Phillip is seeking to elect at least five like-minded Councillors who will put residents first, reduce rates by cutting wasteful spending and finding efficiencies.
Join us on from 6:30 pm on Thursday 30 July to be entertained by Dave Hughes, hear updates from Councillors Beti Jay, Rod Hardy and Bryan Mears. It will be a night to enjoy delicious food, wines, beers and soft drinks. We have many great prizes in our raffle, silent and live auctions.
Our community group helped to elect two councillors in 2020 and three councillors in 2024. Your contribution will help us to continue to advocate for residents and to campaign for more like-minded candidates to be elected to Council to represent you.
List of Achievements
Highlighted below are issues that we have successfully advocated for on behalf of residents, ratepayer and businesses:
- Removing 39 km of unnecessary and dangerous pop-up bike lanes
