Join a focus group!

10 February 2026

To make sure we hear from a wide range of people and communities, we will be running a series of small focus groups for specific groups for Creative West. These focus groups will explore lived experience, needs and ideas in more detail and help shape the next stages of the project.

Each Creative West Focus Group will be held at Footscray Library, 56 Paisley Street, Footscray.

Community members are asked to select one group from the list below that they identify most with.

If you have any questions on the focus groups, please contact Creative.West@maribyrnong.vic.gov.au
