Expressions of interest are now open to join our community panel to help shape Melton’s future

As part of the community panel, you'll help us:

  • Review the Community Vision 2040 to make sure it matches what our community wants to 2051
  • Guide our planning for 2025-2030, including:
    • Council services and community wellbeing
    • How we manage money
    • How we look after community buildings and facilities

Your input will help us make better decisions for our community.

The community panel will consist of a diverse group of community members who come together to learn about key issues, share ideas and offer recommendations. People selected to be on the community panel will receive an honorarium of $400.

Community members were encouraged to register their interest and share this page with your City of Melton neighbours, friends and community. Registrations closed at 9am Monday, 3 February 2025.
