4-year budget for Moreland
Moreland Council’s 4-year 2021-25 budget will deliver key services to Moreland’s 188,000 plus residents along with critical major projects to improve the future of Moreland and help deliver local jobs.
In 2021-22, a $61.7 million focus on capital works will see the Glenroy Community Hub completed, providing health, early years, youth and community services to the north, along with more parks close to home, investments in our footpaths, bike paths, road and carparks and climate emergency initiatives.
Acting Moreland Mayor Cr Mark Riley said that despite the challenges of delivering a budget in the Covid-19 pandemic environment, he was confident the 2021-22 budget struck a balance of benefits for the community and financial sustainability.

The DesignInc Architects-designed Glenroy Community Hub has its sights set on achieving Passive House and Living Building Challenge Petal certifications upon completion later this year, in what will be a first for Australian community centres.
The $30m project was conceived with community consultation in mind, with Moreland City Council holding aspirations for the building to pursue the certifications, that reflect the Council s and community’s shared commitment to sustainable design.
The certifications measure environmental performance, but also factor in high comfort standards to ensure the health, happiness and wellbeing of visitors.
Stephen Webb, DesignInc Director, says the design echoes a lot of biophilic and sustainable design qualities.
