Council regularly conducts training programs for community groups and small community organisations active in the Brimbank area looking to run community events. Practical and straightforward resources are provided to assist in making your event as successful as possible.
This year, we are offering both in-person training and online sessions. You can choose to join us at St Albans Community Centre or in an online session.
