With the first Yarra Ranges Council meeting of 2024 under a week away, it is a timely reminder on the process for attending a council meeting if you wish to do so in person.
The council’s top priority, as always, is to ensure the health and safety of all attendees, which is why it has a venue registration and identification check process for all individuals attending a Council Meeting.
The registration process further supports the council’s ongoing efforts to maintain a safe and secure environment for all participants whilst allowing councillors to conduct an orderly meeting.
How to Register
All attendees wanting to attend the Council meeting must register their attendance by no later than Monday 5pm the day before the council meeting. You can do this:
Via the registration form online – yarraranges.vic.gov.au/Council/Council-meetings/Attending-a-Council-meeting/Register-to-attend-a-Council-meeting

Speaking with a customer service representative at a Community link
The registration process is quick and straightforward, requiring your first and last name, home address, phone number and email address.
Registrations typically open one week prior to the meeting when the agenda is published.
Please note that registration will be limited to a capacity of 70 people.
Personal data collected during the registration process will be treated in accordance with the applicable privacy laws and Yarra Ranges Council Privacy Policy.

Identification Check
Upon arrival at the Yarra Ranges Council Civic Centre, all attendees will be required to present a valid photo identification (e.g. driver’s license, passport, ID card) which will be checked against your registration details.
The council kindly requests your cooperation in complying with these requirements to ensure a safe and pleasant experience for everyone attending the Council Meeting.
Unfortunately, anyone who has not registered or cannot provide adequate identification will be unable to enter the Civic Centre and attend the council meeting.
It is understood that you may have questions or concerns regarding the registration and identification process. For any inquiries, please reach out to our Customer Service Team on 1300 368 333.
