Council meetings

Melton City Council is committed to protecting community health and wellbeing in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

To ensure we comply with social distancing requirements, we are capping the number of residents who can be seated in the public galley at Council meetings to six people. This means that once we have reached the six person capacity, we will be unable to allow more residents to enter Council chambers, to ensure we comply with government requirements.

As public access will be extremely restricted we are asking residents to not attend a Council Meeting.

An audio recording of the Council meeting will be available on our Minutes & Agendas webpage the next day. 

If you plan to attend, please consider downloading the agenda prior to attending on your own device, to limit the need to share public copies.

Thank you for your understanding.
