At last night’s Council Meeting, applicants and objectors had the opportunity to speak at the meeting via Zoom, which was broadcast as part of the meeting livestream.
Golden Plains Shire became one of the first Councils in Victoria to incorporate Zoom presentations into the livestream broadcast of the meeting, giving viewers across the Shire the full experience of attending the meeting. This virtual option is also available to community members who would like to speak to Council directly during Public Question Time.
Like many businesses and organisations, Council has developed its online and virtual engagement opportunities this year to ensure residents continue to be able to participate and have their say despite COVID restrictions, as well as bridging the physical distance across the Shire.
The final Council Meeting of 2020 was held at the Golden Plains Civic Centre in Bannockburn last night, Tuesday 15 December. In accordance with the Victorian Government’s COVID-19 directives, the meeting was closed to in-person public attendance and livestreamed on Council’s YouTube page.
The next Council Meeting will be held on Tuesday 19 January, 2021 at 6pm with the agenda to be posted on Friday 15 January on Council’s website: goldenplains.vic.gov.au/meetings
