Community Yarns and Pop-Ups

Community engagement provides the opportunity for you to have a say and contribute to the decisions and actions of Council. Council is committed to hearing from our community about issues that affect you and we do this via our planned community engagement activities throughout the year.

Community Yarns are a forum for residents, community groups and businesses to discuss priorities for their communities. They provide an opportunity for Elected Members and Council staff to hear what’s important to our local communities and how we can work together to achieve goals.

Community Pop-Ups provide a casual opportunity to chat with Elected Members and Council staff in and around Glenorchy.

Recent Yarns:

A Community Yarn was held at the Claremont Guide Hall on 27 November 2024, with a focus on safety. Thank you to all who attended and contributed to the discussion.
