Engage with local governance through the Planning and Related Matters meetings held monthly. These sessions provide insight into upcoming developments and community planning decisions that impact Merri-bek residents. It's a great opportunity for parents to understand the future landscape of their neighborhood and how it might affect their family's lifestyle.
The meetings are livestreamed for easy access from home, making it convenient for busy parents to stay informed without needing to attend in person. When possible, meetings are held at the Merri-bek Civic Centre, offering a chance to see local government in action.
Expect a structured agenda covering various planning topics, with discussions that can last until 11pm depending on the number of items. This transparency helps families stay connected to community decisions.
- Held on the fourth Wednesday of each month
- Starts at 18:30 and runs until no later than 23:00
- Locations alternate between online livestream and the Council Chamber at Merri-bek Civic Centre
The meetings are designed to be accessible and informative, providing minutes and recordings after each session for those who cannot attend live. This ensures parents can catch up on important discussions at their convenience.
Meetings usually take place at the Council Chamber, Merri-bek Civic Centre, located at 90 Bell Street, Coburg. This venue is accessible and centrally located within the community.
For those unable to attend in person, the meetings are livestreamed online, allowing families to participate from the comfort of their homes. Recordings and agendas are also available on the council’s website.
This dual access approach supports busy parents balancing family commitments while staying engaged with local planning matters.
Please note that meeting lengths vary depending on agenda items but will not extend past 11pm. The council encourages community members to review agendas beforehand to prepare any questions or comments.
Livestream links and meeting agendas are published in advance on the Merri-bek City Council website, ensuring transparency and easy access.
Parents interested in local planning are encouraged to participate or observe to better understand how decisions are made that affect their neighborhoods and schools.
Attendance is free of charge. No booking is required for either in-person or online participation.
Simply join the meeting at the scheduled time via the livestream link or attend at the Council Chamber. This open access supports community involvement and informed citizenship.
