Strategically located between Melbourne’s CBD and Melbourne Airport, Moonee Valley covers around 43 square kilometres, with approximately 67% zoned for residential use. It is a primarily established residential municipality complemented by a vibrant mix of retail strips, commercial offices, industrial areas, and Essendon Airport. The Council delivers 26 services designed to meet community needs, expectations, aspirations, and legislative requirements. These services include libraries, permits, waste and recycling, animal management, and more, all of which contribute to the health, wellbeing, and prosperity of the community.
