The Committee for Melbourne is a non-profit organisation based in Melbourne, Australia. The Committee was founded in 1985 to bring together businesses, academia and non-profit organisations for activities, networking, and policy advice to government. Its aim is to keep Melbourne as one of the world's most liveable cities.
Activities[]
The Committee has been involved with a number of major changes to Melbourne, such as the Melbourne Docklands development, and smaller programs such as Melbourne Green Roofs program,[1] Melbourne Open House, Melbourne's Moving Galleries[2] and many others.
