Hume City Council is bringing back its Meet the Mayor drop-in sessions, with Mayor Cr Carly Moore kicking the series off in Kalkallo on Friday 1 May.
Meet the Mayor is an opportunity for community members to meet with decision makers in a relaxed and open setting where they can discuss community issues, ideas or learn more about what’s happening in our city.
Cr Moore will be visiting all 11 Hume City wards in the coming months, joined in each location by that ward’s councillor. This week’s session sees Cr Moore paired with Deputy Mayor Ally Watson, Councillor for Yubup.
To keep the sessions relaxed and accessible for community members, this year’s meet-ups will be happening in coffee shops and cafes across the city.
Our first stop on Friday will be Fergusen Plarre’s, 44 Toyon Road, Kalkallo from 10.30am — 11.30am.
There’s no need to RSVP for these events. The community is encouraged to simply come along, order a coffee, and let us know what’s on your mind when it comes to Hume.
We’ll be rolling out alerts for each ward closer to the date. Upcoming events in the series include:
Wednesday 13 May – Caffe Cherry Bean Broadmeadows, Merlynston Creek Ward Cr Karen Sherry
Tuesday 19 May – Lovely Cake Studio Craigieburn, Aitken Ward Cr Carly Moore
Tuesday 26 May – The Jolly Miller Greenvale, Woodlands Ward Cr Steve Gagen
Hume City Council supports access to transparent, accessible, and accountable leadership. The Meet the Mayor sessions align with our Community Vision and the goal of creating a responsible and well-governed city, ensuring residents feel seen, heard and valued.
