The sessions are a way to raise issues that concern you, find out about projects in the area and learn more about the work of council around the community.
"It's been wonderful to see so many people join us at the first two conversations," MidCoast Council general manager, Adrian Panuccio said.
"The facilitated workshop format has been well-received with attendance up on previous meetings.
"The open dialogue will be invaluable for us going forward, it's a great way to understand local community priorities."
Council urges members of the community to make time to go along to their closest meeting, or submit a question for discussion.
