Apply a gender lens

Maroondah City Council is committed to working towards a community where everyone is safe, valued and enjoys equity of opportunity and outcomes.

Our commitment to gender equality is embedded in our Council Plan, Maroondah 2050 – Our future together, Maroondah Liveability Wellbeing and Resilience Strategy 2021-2031 and our Gender Equality Action Plan 2021-2025.

Gender equality is an important determinant for health and wellbeing. Women, men and gender diverse people face different experiences based on social conditioning and subtle biases. Designing or delivering a project by treating all people as the same may not necessarily result in equal outcomes.
