At Tuesday night’s Council Meeting, Council resolved to:

• Increase fees for e-scooter operators, from $1 to $5 for each e-scooter per day, to ensure that the scheme is no longer subsidised by ratepayers.
• Strengthen the Community Grants Program by improving impact evaluation and transitioning several programs to more formalised funding arrangements.
• Extend the Activity Centre Heritage Façade Conservation Grant to continue supporting the conservation of Yarra’s historic shopping strips.

Other agenda items and more details about the above items can be viewed in the Council Meeting minutes, available online from Friday 14 March.
