Boroondara Community Plan

The Boroondara Community Plan (BCP) is our key strategic document, and the activities and projects funded through the Community Strengthening Grants program reflect its objectives, especially themes 1 and 3.

You can learn more about the BCP and its themes on our Boroondara Community Plan 2021-2031 page.
