The Mornington Peninsula Shire joined Welcoming Cities at the Committed level in March 2026. Learn more about Welcoming Cities.
Welcoming Cities is part of Welcoming Australia. It is a national network of councils working towards an Australia where everyone can take part in community life, including social, cultural, economic, and civic activities.
Welcoming Cities provides councils with a practical framework to support cultural diversity and inclusion. It helps councils strengthen their policies and everyday practices, build social connections, and create places where people feel they belong.
It also gives councils a way to share ideas, learn from each other, and work together to make their communities more welcoming and inclusive.
