MAV Events and COVID-19
The recent announcement of the World Health Organisation in declaring coronavirus (COVID-19) a pandemic has required us to assess all our upcoming events and meetings. We have already cancelled several large-scale events on the advice of the DHHS and the Victorian Chief Health Officer.
To protect our community, our events may be cancelled or held online. We will make decisions about whether each event will be held based on the current COVID-19 advice and contact registered attendees prior to the event to confirm the meeting format and location.
Our priority is the health and safety of our councils and their communities. We are following a calm, fact-based approach in line with state and federal government advice.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
