Moonee Valley City Council

Moonee Valley City Council will be in an election period as of Tuesday, 17 September – Saturday, 26 October 2024. During the election period, also known as caretaker period, Councils must comply with legislation to ensure the elections are fair and ethical. Councils will still be operating their services but are not allowed to make certain actions and decisions that could influence voters or have a major impact on the new Council. For us, this means: 🔹comments will be turned off on posts 🔹 we'll still be here, but posting less frequently. You can still get in contact with us by calling Customer Service on 9243 8888 or via council@mvcc.vic.gov.au. For more information, visit MVCC General Elections. https://ow.ly/3tZb50TnNo6

Supporting our residents to age well is so important to us. It was incredible to see so over 350 community members come down to the Clocktower Centre to celebrate living well in light of #VictorianSeniorsFestival. We enjoyed live music, yummy food, arty workshops, massages, mingled with stallholders. We heard insightful advice from Victoria Police, Lively Tech, and the very witty and wise Jean Kittson. A special thank you to our wonderful Healthy Ageing team members Christine McPherson, Cleo Papageorgiou, Andrea McGrath and Tahlia Downs for putting on a spectacular event for our residents to enjoy, engage with, and learn at. 💚
