Introducing Melton City Girls Can!

Posted on by Alison La Rose

Melton City Council is proud to launch Melton City Girls Can (MCGC) in April 2025. MCGC will celebrate, support and create new opportunities for people who identify as women and girls in the City of Melton to participate in sport and active recreation.

 

Inspired by VicHealth’s This Girl Can campaign and delivered in partnership with local sports clubs and community groups, MCGC aims to enable women and girls to get active in ways that work for them. Whether it’s a little or a lot, what matters is moving your body and having fun – on your own terms, in your own way. Learn more about why Council supports this initiative on the main website.

Posted on by Alison La Rose

Council is pleased to let you know that the Melton Learning Directory website has re-launched today! We are elated to bring you this new and improved platform making it even easier to find and book into local learning programs, social activities, special events and so much more.

NEW BRAND DESIGN AND WEBSITE URL

You’ll also notice a new look and feel to the Melton Learning Directory brand across our website, social media, eDM and printed collateral in community centres, bringing this important sub-brand of Council into the modern age. We’ve also made the switch to a new URL: meltonlearning.vic.gov.au, further strengthening our connection as a local government initiative. Redirections are in place if you happen to click on an old website link so never fear, you’ll always make it back to the new website destination.

Don’t forget that you need to be logged in and your account details need to be up to date and all fields filled out before you can make a purchase. If you need any assistance with the website or with making a booking, please contact us.
