Wyndham mayor Jennie Barrera is hosting a special event for residents next week.
The ‘Wyndham for You – Mayoral Event’ will take place on Monday, May 13 at the Wyndham Civic Centre and provide members of the community the opportunity to meet with the mayor and senior council officers.
Sixteen council departments will be present at the mini expo event, with each providing information about their services and advice to local residents.
The event will also feature free activities, free barista coffee, take home treats, an
opportunity to take photos with the mayor and giveaways.
Following on from the monthly morning tea’s held by previous mayor, Cr Susan McIntyre, Cr Barrera’s event will be her first public meet and greet since she was elected to the role late last year.
A Wyndham resident for more than 30 years, Cr Barrera raised four children in the municipality and worked as a teacher and education leader before being elected to council in 2020.
After serving as deputy mayor last year, Cr Barrera said she was looking forward to hosting her first event in the top job.
“I love meeting with local residents, and this is a chance to come along in a relaxed environment and learn what council is doing within our community and share your ideas, thoughts and insights,” she said.
“If you have something you want to chat about, come along.
“We look forward to seeing you there!”
The free event will run from 10am to 11.30am and bookings are essential.
