Council meetings

The elected Councillors make important decisions on behalf of the City of Whittlesea community at regular Council Meetings.

Attending Council Meetings

When attending a Council Meeting a condition of entry is to sign in upon arrival. You will be required to wear a visitor pass for the duration of your attendance at the meeting.  If you are unable to sign in alternate arrangements can be made.
