Our Purpose
The Committee for Wyndham aims to unite organisations from both within and outside Wyndham's business, individuals, community, and government sectors. Our mission is to nurture Wyndham as a vibrant city within the rapidly expanding Victorian and national landscape.
Our Vision
Shaping Wyndham’s Future.
As the business voice of the region, the Committee for Wyndham brings together business, community, Government and individuals to collaborate in promoting and enhance Wyndham’s social and economic wellbeing.
Established in 1998, the Committee for Wyndham holds the distinction of being the third oldest 'Committee for' in Australia. Embedded in the visionary leadership of the then Werribee community, our organisation has diligently served Wyndham for over 25 years. Through collaboration with businesses, governmental entities, and the community at large, we advocate for the interests of Wyndham and foster crucial partnerships with external stakeholders.
As a apolitical membership-based, not-for-profit entity, the Committee for Wyndham is dedicated to amplifying the voice of business within our vibrant community. We are committed to shaping a promising future for Wyndham by facilitating and fostering connections among businesses, communities, government bodies, and individuals. Together, we strive to enhance Wyndham's social and economic well-being, ensuring a prosperous tomorrow for all.
