BORDER closures, tourism restrictions and other issues impacting the Nelson community will be on the table for discussion at a Glenelg Shire Council public meeting this month.
Council’s Listening Post initiative will be held at Nelson Hotel on Thursday, March 25 with residents invited to talk to their council representatives about matters impacting the community.
Glenelg Shire Mayor Anita Rank said elected members were keen to hear from Nelson residents, particularly following the impact of COVID-19.
“The past 12 months have been incredibly challenging, particularly for our cross-border communities, so a Listening Post in Nelson will be a great way to discuss the impacts of border closures, tourism restrictions and more,” she said.
“We want to get a better understanding of the things that matter in the community and how council can help to support Nelson residents with any issues or opportunities.”
Council will also provide an update on current and future projects, events and activities, such as the Glenelg Shire 2040 Community Plan.
“The plan has been a collaboration of many voices including the Nelson community, and we thank them for their participation and feedback on the plan over the past 12 to 18 months,” Cr Rank said.
Residents unable to attend the event can leave feedback on the Your Say Glenelg website.
The Nelson Listening Post event starts at 6pm (Vic time).
