Event guidelines

• Our events calendar promotes events being run by Merri-bek City Council or happening in the City of Merri-bek.

• The focus of the events calendar is on business activities, training, and recreational opportunities.

• Events in our calendar are largely free or have a small cost or donation (as a guide no more than $100 in total, although less for short events).
