Updated on 23 March with information on the re-scheduled Hay meeting.
Further update on 7 March with information on Hay, Forbes and Dubbo meetings. Updated on 6 March with details on Deniliquin and Echuca meetings; 29 Feb with more details on public open house meetings.
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.

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.
