Manningham Council Acting Chief Executive, Chris Potter congratulated Cr Yang on her appointment to the LGMAP.

“It is fabulous to again have a Manningham representative on the LGMAP.”

“This is Cr Yang’s second appointment to the Local Government Mayoral Advisory Panel and it is a wonderful opportunity to ensure that State Government hears directly from us about the range of issues impacting on our community and the surrounding region.”
