Help co-design better Brimbank
Brimbank Council knows that people with disability have the same rights to live, work and socialise as anyone else.
We’re co-designing our Disability Action Plan for 2021-2025 with Brimbank residents living with disability and their carers, and support providers, to create a stronger, accessible and inclusive community.
Working together to develop the plan ensures people with disability live in an accessible well designed community and are provided with opportunities to engage in social, economic, sporting and cultural life.
Jenny Willis is a full time carer to her son Dan, aged 26, living with Epilepsy and global brain damage, and is one of the people assisting Council to co-design the new Disability Action Plan.

Brimbank working towards net zero emissions
Local buildings, sports grounds, community venues, leisure centres and street lights managed by Council are now powered by 100 per cent renewable electricity.
Brimbank is one of 46 Victorian councils that are part of VECO, the Victorian Energy Collaboration which flicked the switch to renewables with Red Energy this month.
VECO is the largest emissions reduction project ever undertaken by the local government sector in Australia.
Together we have pooled our electricity needs into one long-term contract to source renewable energy generated from Victorian wind farms.
This will save 260,000 tonnes of carbon emissions from entering the atmosphere each year – the same as taking 90,000 cars off the road.
