Meet the candidates for Fairfax forum
RESIDENTS of Mapleton and surrounding areas will have the opportunity to hear directly from candidates contesting the federal seat of Fairfax at a community forum hosted by the Mapleton and District Community Association (MADCA) this Tuesday evening.
The “Meet the Candidates” event will take place on Tuesday, April 22, at the Mapleton Bowls Club, with doors opening at 6:30pm for a 7:00pm start.
Open to MADCA members and local residents, the forum aims to give voters a chance to engage face-to-face with the people seeking to represent them in Canberra.
Each candidate will outline their platform and respond to audience questions, providing attendees with valuable insights ahead of the May 3 federal election.
A MADCA representative said the event was an important opportunity for the local community to participate in democracy.
“This is your chance to hear from the candidates, ask questions, and make a more informed decision at the ballot box,” they said.
Residents can also submit questions in advance by emailing madca.inc@gmail.com, with selected questions to be asked during the forum.
With infrastructure, housing, and cost-of-living pressures dominating the national conversation, organisers are expecting a strong turnout.
“This is about giving our community a voice — and making sure it’s heard,” MADCA said.
