Regional Sitting

The Legislative Council is planning a Regional Sitting in Lakes Entance on Wednesday, 15 October and Thursday, 16 October 2008

Further details of this event can be found in this Media Release.

The purpose of regional sittings is to give people the opportunity to see their elected representatives at work, and to educate the public about the processes of Parliament.

The first regional sittings were on 16 August 2001 when the Legislative Council sat in Ballarat and the Legislative Assembly in Bendigo. These were the Victorian Parliament's first sittings outside of Melbourne in its 151 year history and were the first meetings of any Australasian legislature outside of a capital city. Since then, the Legislative Council has sat in Benalla in 2002 and Colac in 2005.
