With the Council election to be held in October, topics will include Greater Bendigo’s role as a regional city, long term strategies and vision of the Council, Local Government services, financial capability and staff resources. The free information session will be held on Thursday June 9 at the Bendigo Library.
Chief Executive Officer, Craig Niemann said Local Government had a pivotal role in the lives of the community and encouraged people to attend the session to understand more.
“Local Government goes beyond the traditional ‘roads, rates and rubbish’ expectation that many people have. City Councillors and staff have a direct role in delivering a number of important services, planning for the future and delivering projects and initiatives that support the wider region,” he said.
“Council has a vision for Greater Bendigo to become Australia’s most liveable regional city and this session is an opportunity to understand how Councillors and the organisation work together to achieve this aim.”
A final community information session will be held on Thursday July 7 at the Bendigo Library and will discuss the future directions for council in 2016/2017.
