In line with Council’s commitment to community consultation and based on the success of the Councillor Conversation Posts in previous years, Councillors will hold conversation posts across the Shire this year, with the addition of online consultation sessions.
There are two upcoming Councillor Conversation Posts in February:
Smythesdale
Councillors will hold a Councillor Conversation Post from 10am to 12pm on Sunday 7 February at the Smythesdale Arts and Music Fiesta at the town green. Community members will also be able to speak with Council Officers about their priorities for the next four years as part of Council’s Council Plan 2021-2025 engagement from 10am to 3pm.
