Local Government Minister Jeanette Powell is calling for expressions of interest from people wanting to join the community consultative committee (CCC) to advise on the separation of Sunbury from Hume.
The state government agreed in November that Sunbury could leave Hume municipality and announced a panel would be formed to recommend boundaries.
Members of the panel are due to be named this month. They will work alongside Hume council and make recommendations on the secession issue.
Mrs Powell said the new community committee would give advice directly to the panel on matters the locals believed should be investigated and considered.
“The committee will be able to refer issues to the panel for investigation, including possible boundary suggestions, distribution of assets and delivery of municipal services,” she said.
The CCC would be chaired by Northern Victoria MP Amanda Millar and would comprise as many as eight volunteers. Expressions of interest close on Monday, February 17.
