Taking Council To The People

The next meeting of Monash City Council will be held at Oakleigh as part of the "taking Council to the people" initiative proposed by Mayor Paul Klisaris.

On the 13 May, Council will meet at the Monash Seminar and Training Centre, which is the former Oakleigh Municipal Chamber. The last Council meeting held there was a special meeting of Monash City Council to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Oakleigh's city status in 2002.

Mayor Klisaris said this was one of the first initiatives he proposed after being elected last December, as he wanted Council to better engage with the community.

"By taking Council to the people we are making it easier for those unable to attend meetings at the Civic Centre in Glen Waverley to be informed on what is happening in their local neighbourhood and provide them with a chance to have their say in person on issues that concern them."/P>

Council meetings will also be held in Mulgrave on 26 August and Clayton on 28 October.

The next meeting of Council will commence at 7.30pm on Tuesday, 13 May at the Monash Seminar and Training Centre, 3 Atherton Road, Oakleigh.
