Central Goldfields Shire Council will host its second Virtual Listening Post via Facebook Live on Wednesday 22 July at 12.30pm.

The Virtual Listening Post will be hosted by Administrators Noel Harvey, Karen Douglas and Hugh Delahunty.

The first Virtual Listening Post was held in May in place of the quarterly in-person Listening Posts due to COVID-19 restrictions.

The first attempt at creating a virtual opportunity for members of the community to raise issues with was very successful, with around 60 people joining in online with many people taking the opportunity to ask questions on a wide range of issues.

Residents can submit questions to the Administrators in the lead up to the Virtual Listening Post or alternatively they can submit questions via the Facebook Live comments function.

Central Goldfields Shire Chief Administrator Noel Harvey said it is important residents still have the opportunity to ask questions or express any concerns they may have.

"While we can't hold in-person Listening Posts at this time, it is still so important community members have the opportunity to ask questions or voice any concerns or queries.

"Facebook Live provides the perfect way for us to connect with our residents and for our residents to connect with us. We held our first Virtual Listening Post in May and this was a huge success."
