We've created more opportunities for you to speak directly with your Councillors, ask questions and provide feedback about the local issues that matter to you.
The Councillor engagement program includes a series of drop-in events:
- Meet the Mayor
- Councillor Conversations with Community
- Community Tuesdays
We're running these sessions in addition to our existing Your Say Yarra engagement platform, where you can provide feedback on specific Council projects.
No bookings needed, just turn up to the session that suits you. In the event of bad weather, these events may be rescheduled to a later date. Stay tuned to our social media for updates or call us on 9205 5555.
