The Local Government Act 1989 and associated regulations require the following registers and documents are available for public inspection.
Documents are available for inspection at the City Offices, Braeside Avenue, Ringwood. The documents may be viewed, but not removed, and some are also available online.
It is usually best to make an appointment to arrange an inspection of a document. Please contact Peter Tully, Governance Advisor, on 9298 4211 to arrange a viewing time.
