Have Your Say On Monash's Future
27 January 2009
Residents will be able to have their say on the future of Monash at local festivals this summer.
In 2002, Monash City Council adopted a Community Consultation Framework to ensure effective consultation with the community, that promotes involvement and makes decisions that are open, transparent and responsive to local needs.
Mayor Paul Klisaris said that Council is committed to consulting with its community and customers in all areas of planning and service delivery.
"We have continued to review our Plan and want residents to tell us what they want by visiting the festivals being held in Glen Waverley, Clayton, Oakleigh and Mulgrave," said Cr Klisaris.
"There is always a range of competing projects within the community that stretch our limited budget. These community consultations assist us to determine Monash's primary priorities," said Cr Klisaris.
Council will also be consulting with local groups and advisory committees before releasing a draft 2009-2013 Plan for wider community consultation in May.
The current Council Plan 2006-2010 Update can be viewed at any of Monash's libraries, Sevice Centres or by visiting the website at
