Welcome to The Committee for Mornington Peninsula
We all love living and working on the Peninsula. Our future centres on creating opportunities and the best living conditions for every generation. To meet this need, we can and must do a better job at attracting State and Federal Government funding support, policy attention and sustainable investment.
Whilst not immediately evident to all, there are very real social and economic challenges our community faces, and it is only with all of us bringing our best contribution forward can we hope to have front-of-mind with decision makers and to secure positive action to see them addressed.
Thinking Ahead
Our approach is to be future focused and research and evidence based to ensure our work is strongly directed at driving, developing and safeguarding the future prosperity and sustainability of the Mornington Peninsula and the region.
Influence
As an independent, membership-based organisation we work collaboratively with stakeholders, opinion leaders, influencers and policy makers to support our regions development.
Leadership
It is our intent to have a membership base of local, national and international organisations and individuals who set aside commercial gain, sectoral interests and personal perspectives to provide a united voice on the issues facing the Mornington Peninsula.

we especially thank our Platinum Members for their positive contribution and investment in the region.
Why are we important?

Campaign for ‘regional designation’ for the Mornington Peninsula continues…
Following
the Committee for Mornington Peninsula’s presentation to the Victorian
Opposition’s Shadow Cabinet, awareness and momentum is building for our case
for change.
Media reporting of this key C4MP policy focus has generated further local
examples where the lumping in of the Mornington Peninsula with greater
Melbourne is disadvantaging local businesses and residents.
C4MP press for ‘regional’ designation for the Peninsula
The
formal designation of the Mornington Peninsula as a ‘regional’ rather than a
metropolitan community was a priority initiative presented to the Victorian
shadow cabinet by leading local advocacy group, Committee for Mornington
Peninsula.
The
C4MP group urged the Liberal National Party Shadow Ministers to recognise that
the Peninsula was not Melbourne and that successive State Government’s had
failed to distinguish the region from the metropolitan area.
