It brought together stories of activists such as Ali Hogg and Gordon Doak, alongside creative champions including Keigh bowery, Ana Kokkinos and Kween Kong, tracing networks of resistance, visibility and cultural change. The exhibition was brought together by the Australian Queer Archives. The Brimbank Council has a formal adopted action plan (2024–2028) that commits the municipality to improving health, safety, inclusion, empowerment, and organisational leadership for LGBTQIA+ residents. This action plan policy is built around the City of Brimbank's LGBTQIA+ Action Plan 2024–2028, that was adopted in November 2023. It was the council’s first formal LGBTQIA+ policy and is now the governing document for all inclusion, safety, and community‑support work. LGBTQIA+ is an inclusive acronym that represents diverse sexual orientations and gender identities, including lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer / questioning, intersex, asexual, and others.Brimbank LGBTQIA History Exhibitionlgbtqia+, ali hogg, gordon doak, leigh bowery, ana kokkinos, kween kong, city of brimbank
