Are you keen to hear first-hand what’s happening in your area? Now is your chance.
Wyndham City will be hosting a series listening posts over the coming months, giving residents an opportunity to hear about upcoming plans, provide input into current projects or initiatives out for consultation, or just a chance to meet Councillors and Council Officers.
Wyndham City Mayor Cr Henry Barlow encouraged residents to attend the listening posts and engage with the Council.
“At Wyndham we pride ourselves on how well we engage with our community,” Cr Barlow said. “In our latest Community Satisfaction Survey, the majority of you—the residents—told us that you were satisfied with the way we consult and engage with the community. You also told us that you were pleased with the way that we provide information to residents. We want to keep building on that, to keep our community informed, which is why we’re heading out to talk to you,” he added.
The listening posts, said Cr Barlow, are just one of many ways that that the Council hopes to communicate important information. “So we encourage you to come down, have a chat, ask any questions you may have, or get to know us. If you can’t make it down we’re still always very happy to hear from our residents, so give us a call, send us an email, or drop in and visit us,” he added.

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
If you value thoughtful reporting that reflects Australia’s diversity, we invite you to contribute. Every donation helps us maintain the quality and consistency of our work.
Please consider making a contribution today.
Thank you for your support.
