Essendon District – Candidate Matrix
WHERE DO OUR LOCAL CANDIDATES STAND?
As part of our 2026 Victorian Election candidate engagement, LMV invited all publicly announced Lower House candidates across the Essendon district to complete a questionnaire comprising 10 questions addressing issues that matter to our community.
The questions covered five key areas:
Planning Reforms & Local Decision-Making
Housing, Heritage & Neighbourhood Character
Infrastructure & Essential Services
Community Safety
Governance & Accountability

Candidate responses have been compiled into the comparison matrix below, allowing Moonee Valley residents to see where Essendon district candidates stand on these issues.
Responses are presented as ‘Yes’ or ‘No’, reflecting each candidate’s answer. Candidates who did not provide a response are recorded as ‘No response’.
