Background

The City of Marion area is home to people of many cultures, religions and languages, who come from all around the world (multicultural).

In 2024, the City of Marion started developing its first Multicultural Inclusion Plan. Community Feedback received shaped the Draft Multicultural Inclusion Plan that seeks to ensure everyone feels welcome, connected, and able to contribute to our liveable, sustainable, community. You can review the feedback we received in the 2024 Community Feedback Report.

In 2025, we asked community if they thought the draft plan will make everyone feel welcome and connected. Consultation closed at 5pm on Tuesday 2 December 2025. You can review the feedback we received in the 2025 Community Feedback Report.
