Council meetings
Council meetings are generally held on the fourth Tuesday of the month at 6.30pm in the Council Chambers at the Moonee Valley Civic Centre, 9 Kellaway Avenue, Moonee Ponds.
We welcome the community to watch Council meetings either in person or via live stream here on our website.
On this page, you'll find all the details of our Council meeting agenda, minutes, recordings, and how you can be part of the meeting by asking a question or submitting a joint letter or petition. Our Council meetings are run in accordance with our Governance Rules and our Governance Local Law 2020. These documents outline how Council meetings are to be run in a transparent, inclusive and fair manner. Further down the page, you will also find the agenda and minutes of our Committee meetings including any hearing of submissions.

Our Council Chamber is fitted with a hearing assistance system.
This system allows residents with a hearing impairment to hear amplified sound from the microphones in the room - simply collect a receiver and headset on arrival. The system supports those with a hearing impairment to participate in Council meetings and other events held in the Council Chamber.

Ask Council a question
Council meetings
Council has made a commitment to provide time at each Council meeting for members of the public to ask questions. The process for public question time is outlined in Council’s Governance Rules.
Public forum
On the third Tuesday of every month*, Council hosts a public forum at 6pm*. Public forums take place in a less formal setting than Council meetings, and provide another opportunity for residents to play a role in civic matters.
