Our City is full of creative people. In fact, we are one of 11 creative urban neighbourhoods in the state – as identified by Creative Victoria – and the only one in Melbourne’s west.

We want your ideas to help shape the design of Creative West, as a landmark project that will revitalise the Footscray CBD.

Share your ideas for a world‑class library, an inspiring performing arts venue and a new town park.

Join events and activities, or share your thoughts online at www.yourcityyourvoice.com.au/cw

Feedback closes at midnight on Sunday 1 March 2026.

Get a taste of Creative West!

  • Workshops: podcasting, circus skills and short videos
  • Live music and performances:  Melbourne Djembe’s Firefly, Inner West Symphony Orchestra, Hyde St Youth Band
