Maribyrnong council is seeking expressions of interest from members of the public to join three of its advisory committees.
Those interested in joining council’s active and healthy aging, disability and LGBTIQA+ advisory committees have until Friday 27 February to put their names forward, with the successful applicants to be informed by Wednesday 18 March.
The three advisory committees provide advice to council on issues, barriers and opportunities to promote equality, inclusion and accessibility.
Members of the active and healthy aging committee provide insights to help shape strategies, plans, and programs for residents over the age of 55, while those on the disability committee not only provide advice relating to those who are disabled, but also their carers and families.
The LGBTIQA+ committee not only provides advice to, but also informs council of any emerging needs, issues and barriers facing the community in Maribyrnong.
Being a council advisory committee member is volunteer role and involves attending four meetings a year, with meetings scheduled to take place in March-April, May, August and October.
Attendance at an induction meeting and a combined committees debriefing session in November, is also required.
Only people with a connection to Maribyrnong and the community focus area of the advisory committee they wish to join are eligible.
