All events will be held in accordance with the COVID-19 restrictions of the day.

Quotes attributable to Mayor Cr Danny Goss

Quotes attributable to Deputy Mayor and East Ward Cr Michael Leaney
"All residents from Yarragon and the surrounding areas are welcome to drop into the session. This program is a great way to remove geographical barriers and ensure all Baw Baw Shire residents are heard and represented, whether they live in the main townships or in the far corners of our Shire."
Quotes attributable to East Ward Cr Peter Kostos
"We're delivering some exciting projects in Yarragon, like the new Dog Park opening later this year and the upgraded playground at Howard Park, but there's always more to be done. Come and tell us directly what you want to see Council deliver in your community."
Quotes attributable to East Ward Cr Darren Wallace
"This pop-up gives residents the chance to speak to Councillors and senior Council staff face-to-face. Come and talk to us about any local issues, or just pop in to ask a question, tell us your ideas or find out the latest on a project. We're here to help."
