Last week, we tried something a little different and held a drop-in open house session in Mildura. This gave people the opportunity to drop by and speak to MDBA staff one-on-one. The feedback we got on this format was so positive, we’ve decided to hold more of them.

  1. Re open houses – Is there a requirement to make an appointment for a time? President of the Murray River Action Group, Ian Lobban and I would like to attend at the open house in Albury Wodonga.
    Also will there be a public meeting as well in Albury Wodonga, or just ...

    ... the open house?

    • Hi Marie,

      There’s no need to make an appointment – just drop by when the meeting’s on.

      The open house is a public meeting. The feedback we’ve heard is that people actually prefer this format of public meeting.
