Carlton Community Plan



Opportunities for Carlton 2009 to 2012

The Opportunities for Carlton (OFC) project is a City of Melbourne three year community strengthening initiative, which is funded in partnership with the Victorian State Government.

Through this project, the City of Melbourne will support Carlton's residents, businesses, organisations and public institutions to work collaboratively to plan, coordinate and deliver targeted responses to local issues.

Carlton community plan

The Carlton Community Plan was formally launched in September 2010. There were extensive contributions by the Carlton community to identify shared challenges, priorities and actions to make Carlton a vibrant, inclusive, equitable and thriving place to live work, study and visit. This plan will guide the work of the OFC over the three year period.

A Mid-Year review was completed in July 2011
