Community Engagement Roadshow Coming to Mt Evelyn
The Yarra Ranges Council Community Engagement Roadshow will be out the front of IGA on Thursday April 4, from 10am until 3pm.
The Community Engagement Roadshow travels around townships within the Yarra Ranges Shire creating more opportunities for community members to speak directly with council officers about matters you are interested in and give feedback on Council strategic direction and projects.
Next week they will be launching their community engagement around the Yarra Ranges Council plan – a big project that guides Council’s works, priorities, and services for the next 4 years.
