Community Advisory Committees

Four people seated in conversation

At its meeting on 25 August 2026, Council voted to establish six new community advisory committees, bringing the total number of committees to seven.

Community Advisory Committees typically include Councillors, Council officers and community representatives. They provide a way for people from across Darebin to share their knowledge, experience and perspectives and help inform local decision-making.

Darebin’s seven advisory committees will be:

  • Darebin Aboriginal Advisory Committee
  • Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Advisory Committee
  • Health and Wellbeing Advisory Committee
  • Climate Leadership and Response Advisory Committee
  • Vibrant Places and Economy Advisory Committee
  • Interfaith Advisory Committee
  • Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Advisory Committee

We are now working to establish the new committees.

Expressions of interest will open soon for community members interested in joining. People do not need to be experts to apply - we’re looking for a range of people with relevant lived experience, professional or volunteering experience, community connections or other perspectives to contribute.

More information about each committee, including Terms of Reference and how to apply, will be available on this page when expressions of interest open.
