Council Hosts In-Person Chats at Community Gatherings
Lockyer Valley Regional Councillors and Council Officers will be available for a series of community pop-up events throughout 2025.
Lockyer Valley Regional Council Community Engagement Portfolio Councillor, Deputy Mayor Chris Wilson said Council was committed to meeting with community members and discussing the issues key to them.
“Community pop-ups, where Council staff and councillors are stationed at various community events, offer a casual setting for residents to chat with Council throughout the year and is an expansion of the information stands Council has had at the Laidley and Gatton Shows for many years.
“Weather pending, we’re looking forward to being out and about in 2025 and will be available to respond to enquiries and requests for information from community members.
“The idea is that we’ll come to you – to existing community events such as markets – to make it even more convenient for the community to chat in person.
“We’re planning to host these pop-ups approximately monthly, which allows community members to provide input on a regular basis on plans, policies, strategies, and projects that we might be working on.
“When we have a specific consultation process open, we’ll also use the pop-ups to seek very specific input from the community.
“We certainly welcome as many of you as possible to come and have a chat with us on the below dates,” Cr Wilson said.
