The Organisation

Hobsons Bay is a renowned seaside municipality west of
Melbourne, covering much of the Port Phillip coastline, and
includes diverse and distinctive neighbourhoods such as
Williamstown, Altona, Newport and Spotswood. The municipality has a
mixture of commercial and residential hubs and boasts a range of
natural open spaces including ocean access, parks and gardens. With
its strategic location near the CBD, the municipality is projected
to experience rapid population growth, which will be supported by
investment in infrastructure and community services.

Hobsons Bay City Council is committed to strengthening its
governance and integrity practices and has recently released a
Listening and Support Process Report (1 July 2025) with 23
recommendations. These recommendations will shape the cultural and
governance reform, and the priorities of the incoming CPO. A State
Monitor has also been appointed to oversee Council performance for
a limited period.
