Yarra Ranges Shire Council has passed a late motion for the upcoming MAV State Council in response to recent disruptions of Council meetings by some members of the public.
The council recently closed its public gallery until further notice in a bid to uphold health and safety, and the integrity of council business.
The new motion asks the MAV to call on the state government to work with the sector in state wide measures to support councils in managing disruptive and safe behaviour; and on a coordinated response to an increasingly aggressive cohort that has been targeting councils in recent months.
The MAV State Council meeting is scheduled for 29th May.
