Residents will have the chance to learn more about their state election candidates at an upcoming forum at the Melton District Library.

The Age is hosting a debate between local candidates on Tuesday, November 8.

Moderated by The Age’s Michael Bachelard, local candidates will discuss the big issues this

election and respond to your questions.

It will also be an opportunity for Melton residents to talk about the issues close to their heart

and learn more about the local candidates.

The debate will be held in Melton Library’s seminar room, the Balam Balam Room,

from 6:30pm.

Tickets are very limited so booking ahead is encouraged.

Melton Mayor Goran Kesic said Melton is shaping up as a key battleground this election because locals are making their voices heard.

“We look forward to hosting The Age and making sure Melton stays on Victoria’s agenda. I’m

excited to hear from all the candidates and what they have planned for our community,” he said.

“As one of Melbourne’s fastest growing regions, we need investment to keep up with growth

and not fall behind.

“We need concrete commitments to improve the lives of everyone in our community. Too long

has the West been left behind.”
