Community Precinct Groups
Precinct groups are run by community members and offer opportunities for information sharing and engagement on local topics.
Precinct group meetings are open forums where any community member can attend and engage on a range of community issues. Many groups also run activities with the aim of building local community connections.
As an open and consultative local government, the City of Fremantle supports precinct groups, to encourage any community member to participate and take an active role in providing input into the operations of the local government.
