Council coming to Cann River, Mallacoota

Cann River will host East Gippsland Shire Council’s next Council meeting on Tuesday, March 17 from 1pm.

The Mayor, Councillors, CEO and council staff will meet community members in both Cann River and Mallacoota to discuss projects and issues of interest to those communities.

Following the bushfires, Council changed its meeting schedule, in part to bring forward the meetings scheduled for Mallacoota district, Omeo district and Orbost district.

The first event of the day will be a community open breakfast at Mallacoota Foreshore Holiday Park, Allan Drive, from 7.30am to 9am.

This will be followed by a community morning tea at the Cann River Hall and Recreation Reserve, 24 Tamboon Road, from 10.30am to 11.30am.

An Ordinary Council Meeting will be held in the same venue from 1pm. Community members are welcome to attend and can participate in the meeting in a number of ways, including Public Question Time. The meeting will also be live streamed.

The remaining Council meetings outside the Corporate Centre will be held in Omeo on April 21 and Orbost on June 2.

RSVPs are requested for the Mallacoota breakfast and Cann River morning tea by Thursday, March 12 at 12pm by phoning 5153 9500.

Senior staff and councillors will also spend the day meeting with community members and business leaders on Monday, March 16 in the Far East.

Mayor Cr John White encouraged people to attend these opportunities to meet with councillors and senior staff.

“We are open to hearing people’s concerns and understanding the issues in our communities. These can include Council matters or issues with other agencies where Council can play an advocacy role,” Cr White said.

A full list of council meeting dates and the link to the live stream is available on the Council Meetings page.
