Let's Chat - Council Connect

Project update: Council has decided to continue to run their Let's Chat - Council Connect events in 2026. Please see below for details.

Let’s Chat – Council Connect is your chance to connect directly with your councillors in a relaxed, informal setting in your local area.

You can have casual conversations with councillors on local topics or book a 10-minute time slot to discuss a specific issue or idea with a senior council officer.

Please note this is not a town hall meeting but a chance for you to connect with your local councillors and discuss matters of interest to you.

To book a 10-minute time slot go to 'Book a Session' on the right-hand side of the page, select the session you would like to attend and complete the short online booking form. A confirmation email will be sent to you, and your booking time will be allocated to you upon arrival at the event.

No RSVP required for general attendance. Just drop in and have a chat.

Tea and coffee available.

Should you have any questions or need help making a booking, please contact council's Community Engagement Team on 1300 MACKAY (622 529) or email engagement@mackay.qld.gov.au.
