The City of Rockingham will be holding a Special Electors Meeting next week to discuss the effects of COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
It comes after the City received a request signed by more than 100 electors to hold the meeting as per the Western Australian Local Government Act 1995.
The matters to be discussed are the effects of mandatory vaccination on electors, ratepayers, residents, and businesses in the district, along with local government affairs.
Electors will be able to vote for a motion that asks the Council to create an advocacy position against mandatory vaccination "to provide leadership and guidance to the community in the district".
If the motion is supported by majority of the electors, it will be formally considered by Council at their next council meeting.
The meeting will be held at 6pm on Tuesday March 15 at the Gary Holland Community Centre.
It is open to electors of the City of Rockingham.
Due to COVID-19 regulations, the meeting is capped at 150 persons.
This week the City of Mandurah held a similar Special Council Meeting which was attended by over 200 electors to discuss vaccine mandates.
There were seven motions presented that included the City advocate to the State Government against vaccine mandates and to consider a pro-choice stance.
All motions recieved a majority 'for' vote.
These motions will now be voted on by councillors at this month's council meeting on March 22.
