Get involved: community members wanted for arts advisory committee and taskforce (Fremantle, WA)

THE City of Fremantle is seeking community members to join its various council advisory committees and taskforces, giving them an opportunity to have their say.

“It’s a chance to provide valuable community input while working with elected members, staff and other community members to achieve council’s goals,” City of Fremantle Corporate Services Director Glen Dougall said.

“These advisory committees ensure comprehensive advice and assistance is provided to council, including relevant expertise and local knowledge to assist in council’s decision-making processes.”
