Councillor Anthony Tran
Being active is an important way to look after your physical and mental wellbeing, and there are a number of initiatives within the City of Maribyrnong that encourage residents to take positive steps towards a more active lifestyle.
Maribyrnong council is proud of its long association with the Western Bulldogs Community Foundation.
Partnering with the Foundation to deliver programs like Daughters and Sons of the West provide very real benefits for our community.
We recently celebrated the tenth anniversary of Sons of the West (SOTW) at Whitten Oval, coinciding with the launch of their 10-week health program for men over 18 who live and work in the West.
That’s ten years of positive impact and health education for thousands of men in our communities.
This free program provides participants with the tools, knowledge, confidence, and access to experts to improve their overall health, both physically and mentally, in a supportive environment.
And it doesn’t stop there – SOTW is also about mateship and showing up to support each other.
If you want to give the SOTW program a go, sessions will be held at RecWest Footscray on Tuesday evenings and Maribyrnong Aquatic Centre (MAC) on Thursday mornings, starting March 5.
Another great resource is our Active Maribyrnong guide, detailing the diverse range of recreational opportunities throughout the year, such as Parks Week, Get Active Expo, and the Winter Warrior series.
If you’re looking to get moving and improve your health and wellbeing, visit our website for more information: www.maribyrnong.vic.gov.au
The next time you visit MAC, you’ll now find a new Library Book Locker conveniently located in the foyer.
Members can now collect or return library resources at a time that suits them best while enjoying the facilities.

Finally, I’d like to thank all individuals, community groups and organisations that take the time to share their views and ambitions for our community with Council.
