Maribyrnong Messenger - Autumn 2026

In the Autumn issue of Maribyrnong Messenger, you’ll meet inspiring local Laurie Krepp, a long-time volunteer whose work with the L2P Program and refugee communities has helped many people gain confidence and independence.

We also explore how Council is investing in a greener, healthier City – from major tree-planting commitments and nature planning, to inclusive programs like Swim Unity and new wellbeing activities at our libraries.

There’s plenty happening across the city too, including updates on Creative West and Dream Big Footscray, new grants bringing life to local streets, improvements to cycling and public toilets, and a sneak peek at what’s coming to the Maribyrnong Aquatic Centre.
