Major Projects

The City of Marion undertakes or facilitates Strategic Projects which will strategically support the development of services and facilities for the community and enhance the environmental sustainability of the area.

Current projects are identified in the Marion Strategic Plan 2010-2020 COM%202010-2020%20strategic%20plan (3102 kb) and contribute towards delivering the four themes of the council's Community Vision:

  • Community Wellbeing
  • Culturally Vitality
  • Dynamic Economy
  • Healthy Environment

Each project is considered as a Strategic Project because of the level of investment, scale and/or the dependency on the partnering support and commitment from key strategic partners, from both the public and private sectors.
