Community forum to focus on planning issues next week

PLANNING issues relating to or affecting Ocean Grove will be the focus of a community forum next week.

Representatives from the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP), City of Greater Geelong (COGG) and Regional Roads Victoria (RRV) will speak at the event and have also agreed to a Q&A combined panel session.

The forum, conducted by the Ocean Grove Community Association (OGCA), will be held at the Ocean Grove Bowling Club on Wednesday, July 31 at 6.45pm.

OGCA has already provided the three organisations with some questions to allow them to better prepare for the night and to focus on some specific issues.

The organisations are also keen to receive community questions in advance, but there will also be an opportunity for questions on the night.

OGCA is asking community members to post their questions to its Facebook post, and if you see a question someone else posts and you have a question that is the same or similar or you are interested in the same issue, then you can just “like” that comment.

When posting a question, please keep it short, concise and to the point; please be respectful; ensure it is a question; and ideally make it about planning related matters.
