Advocacy is the process of actively representing and promoting Council and community priorities and views to decision-makers, to achieve agreed outcomes.
Our advocacy efforts raise awareness of challenges faced by the Macedon Ranges, and enables opportunities for investment and support for growth.
Following endorsement of a priority list at the December 2025 Council Meeting, Council is proud to publish its new Advocacy Projects Prospectus(PDF, 4MB) for 2026.
In this document, we outline a succinct, informed and realistic list of advocacy priorities – be that for external decisions or for funding support – on behalf of our community.
We have also worked with the community to include testimonials about the priorities, making this document a joint-advocacy initiative.
The individual pages below elaborate on these individual Prospectus advocacy items (work in progress), as well as other advocacy opportunities that align with our Council Plan and other strategic priorities.
