Council’s mission is to “work with our community to plan, deliver and advocate for the services and infrastructure that will achieve a healthy, connected and sustainable future in Hobsons Bay.”

The municipality is situated on Port Phillip Bay some ten kilometres west of central Melbourne.

With over twenty kilometres of water frontage, Hobsons Bay has a culture, which is strongly linked to its maritime heritage, industry and lifestyle.

The City blends quality residential areas among the native flora and fauna habitats for the Western Wetlands with a range of major industrial complexes, which contribute significantly to the economy of Victoria.

This, combined with the cultural diversity of the community and our strategic metropolitan location, makes Hobsons Bay an important contributor to Melbourne’s growth.

The Council is committed to building a skilled and knowledgeable workforce to ensure the delivery of high quality services to the community and clients.
Council has in place a Learning and Development Strategy which identifies the professional development requirements of employees.

The strategy establishes an integrated approach to developing, delivering and monitoring learning and development activities across the organisation.
Study leave and fee assistance support is available for permanent employees undertaking relevant studies.

We provide training internally and externally to encourage employees at all levels to reach their potential.

The Council offers employees support to undertake relevant study programs that lead to a formal qualification and enhance career development within the organisation.

These and many other policies help us to attract quality and talented people to ensure we have leaders within their field of expertise working at Council.

We strive to be an Employer of Choice where all employees work in a safe and healthy work environment and the right people are in the right job to support Council’s ability to deliver future programs and services.
