PUBLIC PRESENTATION DAY
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Public Presentation Day?
Held in the Nambur Wariga meeting room at the corporate headquarters in Morwell, our Public Presentation
Day is your chance to make a presentation to Councillors on a topic that addresses an agenda item, or is
significant to you or the wider Latrobe City community. Sessions will take place on a three-week cycle, on
Mondays between 5pm and 6pm.
You can interact with the Councillors without the 3 minute time limit that is in place for Ordinary Council
Meetings.
How long can I speak for?
In order to allow as many speakers as we can on any given evening, presentations are limited to a
maximum of 10 minutes, with a five minute question and answer session. We will be flexible according to
the nature of the presentation and the number of presenters. This will be at the discretion of the Mayor.
What can I talk about?
Your presentation should relate to an item or subject, deemed by the Councillors, to be of importance to the
municipality and within Council’s control.
If your item is on the upcoming Ordinary Council Meeting agenda you will be automatically granted a time to
speak at the particular Public Presentation Day prior to that meeting. All other presentation requests will be
submitted to the Mayor for a decision on when or if a presentation will be granted a time.
What can I expect on the day?
Only those presenting may attend. The meeting will consist of all available Councillors, presenters and, if
required, the relevant Council Officer.
How will I get feedback?
You will receive verbal feedback during the presentation and, at the mayor’s discretion, you may receive
written correspondence after the session.
How do I apply?
You can submit a form online or by post, or complete a form at any service centre. All presentations are by
appointment only, and should be submitted to the Council Operations Administration Officer by 12 noon on
the Friday before your selected Public Presentation Day session.
