Meet the Mayor

Local residents can now meet the Mayor at locations across Cardinia Shire.

Meet the Mayor is an opportunity for residents to speak directly to the Mayor and discuss matters that are important to the local community. 

Cardinia Shire Mayor Cr Jack Kowarzik said he is keen to hear feedback on issues that matter to residents, their family and their business.

“This is an opportunity to ask a question, provide feedback or just say hello”, Mayor Kowarzik said

“We invite residents to have free and open conversations with their elected Councillors so they can share their ideas, thoughts and concerns.”

The first Meet the Mayor in Cardinia Shire was held on Friday 9 February at the Urban Hype Café in the Pakenham Hills Ward.

Residents are invited to the next Meet the Mayor session, to be held together with Deputy Mayor and Bunyip Ward Councillor Graeme Moore.

The session will be at Brewsters Foodstore & Café, 81 Nar Nar Goon – Longwarry Road in Garfield from 10am to 12pm on Thursday 22 February.
