*Next meeting*

Our next meeting is in the Mayor's Room, Fitzroy Town Hall, 6.30--8pm, 
22 May. Based on your feedback, I propose that we dedicate the May 
meeting to following up on Item 1.3 from last week's meeting  i.e. Yarra 
Bicycle Strategy -- what we've achieved and future focus.

*Another opportunity to have your say*

I would also like to draw your attention to the new draft Council Plan 
that will soon be available for comment. It is expected to be on public 
exhibition online and at all customer service centres and libraries from 
17 April for 28 days. You are invited to read the draft Council Plan and 
contribute ideas and comments on how it can be improved to best reflect 
aspirations for Yarra. You can find out more about Council's draft 
Budget and draft Council Plan at upcoming joint community information
