Community members can rub
shoulders with their councillors and have their say on the projects that matter
to them in a free barbeque coming up later this month.
Council is inviting the
public to come and have a chat in its Community Conversations at The Nest Youth
Hub next Wednesday, 14 May.
The informal session
offers a chance for councillors and the community to come together to discuss
key issues in a relaxed, supportive environment.
The event will feature
colouring activities for children, food and a barbeque – dependent on the
weather.
Greater Geelong Youth Councillors
will also attend to learn from their councillor mentors and engage in
meaningful conversations with residents and ratepayers.
Those attending will
have a chance to have their say on the following Council strategies which are
now open for public engagement:
- Proposed 2025-26 to 2028-29 Budget and Revenue & Rating Plan
- Draft Community Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2025-29
- 2025 Geelong Youth Survey
- Integrated Transport Strategy
- Central Geelong Stormwater Management Strategy
- Highton Stormwater Management Strategy

As a Council we are
always striving to make Greater Geelong a better place to live, work and play
for everyone who calls our wonderful region home.
We’re always searching
for new ways to improve the infrastructure and services we provide, and
community feedback plays a crucial role in this.
This session offers a
valuable opportunity for open dialogue between council and the community, where
people can raise concerns directly with their ward councillor in a relaxed and
friendly environment.
Come and chat to your
councillors about what matters to you and help shape the future of our
community.
The Community
Conversations session will take place from 4.30pm to 6.30pm at The Nest Youth
Hub, located at 17 Gheringhap Street, Geelong.
