Subject: Yarra Councillors behaviour: 8 April 2025 Yarra Council Meeting

Hello I am contacting you about several issues including unacceptable councillor conduct at Yarra Council’s 8 April 2025 meeting.

The amended motion voted on 8 April 2025 wasn’t checked prior and against officers advice.

Due to Yarra councillors not following correct process, council has to vote again on Elizabeth Street protected lanes on 22 April 2025 at a special meeting, where governance mentions people cannot make submissions, this is a denial of my right to participate in council decisions, especially when over 70 people spoke to these two items at Yarra Council’s Meeting on Tuesday 8 April 2025.
