Community law consultation
Baw Baw Shire Mayor Cr Annemarie McCabe said the Community Local Law review was an important engagement piece, which gives council an opportunity to better understand community needs and expectations and deliver more value for our residents. "By taking a look at our Community Local Law we have an ideal chance to tap into the thoughts and ideas of our residents and ensure we're in touch with what they want and need."
"The purpose of this local law is to keep our community safe, and as you can see from the number of community consultation sessions we're holding this month, we really want to hear from as many people as possible and give our community a genuine chance to inform council decision making and processes," Cr McCabe said.
