Council Pop-up is Coming to Longwarry

Published on 07 June 2019

Baw Baw Shire Council would like to remind residents about its upcoming visit to Longwarry on Tuesday 18 June.

This is an opportunity for people living in and around Longwarry to come along and have a chat with Councillors and members of the Executive team about matters affecting their community.

Longwarry Council pop-up When: 3.00pm - 7.00pm on Tuesday 18 June Where: Longwarry Hall, 14 Kennedy Street No appointment needed.

Opening times have been extended into the evening to be more flexible around resident’s school and work commitments.

Council pop-up is a rural outreach program which aims to increase Council’s presence in a range of areas across the municipality, particularly those further from major townships.

Later in the year the program will also travel to Neerim, Willow Grove and Rawson. Residents in these communities will be able to drop-in, ask questions, share ideas and provide their valuable feedback to Council.
