Open Council Workshops

Glenorchy City Council is committed to fostering an informed and engaged community through our Open Council Workshops. These workshops are open to the public and cover a diverse range of topics, from community safety and environmental sustainability to health, well-being, and local governance.

Each workshop is led by expert presenters and specialists in their respective fields, ensuring that you receive the most accurate and relevant information. Whether you're looking to expand your knowledge, stay updated on important issues, or connect with like-minded community members, our workshops provide a valuable opportunity to learn and engage.

All are welcome to attend, and we encourage you to join us in these informative and interactive sessions. Stay tuned for upcoming topics and dates and be sure to reserve your spot at our next workshop.

Workshops are held at the Glenorchy City Council Chambers, 374 Main Road, Glenorchy on the first floor (lift or stair access). They are also live streamed on Council's Facebook page (no Facebook account required) and on Glenorchy City Council's YouTube page.
