The Right Honourable the Lord Mayor Robert Doyle is the serving Lord Mayor of Melbourne.  Robert is also a Principal at The Nous Group, a management consultancy business and Chairman of Melbourne Health (The Royal Melbourne Hospital).  He is also President of the Lord Mayor’s Charitable Foundation, Chairman of the Royal Melbourne Hospital Foundation and a Trustee of the Shrine of Remembrance.  Robert is an Ambassador for or member of a range of other health, community and research focused organisations.

Future Melbourne 2026 will be a long-term strategic plan to guide city development and activity from 2016 until 2026. This will be the second time that Council has developed a Future Melbourne plan.

The Lord Mayor has a question for Melbourne Forum members – As the fastest growing city in Australia, what decisions must we take now so that we remain the world’s most liveable city when we have a population of seven million?

Please join us and discuss this most important question.
