This afternoon the City of Maroondah hosted a delegation from Lebanon, which is in Australia to learn about this country’s governance structures and representation. The delegation visited the Maroondah City Council Civic Centre in Braeside Avenue, where I was able to discuss Council’s governance and composition.

As part of the presentation the delegation recognised the civic contributions of Cr Tony Dib, a Lebanese Australian, who served on the City of Broadmeadows and was elected onto Maroondah City Council in 2005.

Tony’s connection with Lebanon helped organise today’s delegation, where we were provided with the ability to promote the City of Maroondah, including plans for the Ringwood Central Activities District, to an international audience.
