Meet Israel, our new Community Engagement Lead. Israel joined the team at Greater Dandenong in December 2024.
Israel’s job at Council is to design new and exciting ways to engage with you, our community, on decisions that affect you.
This is an important part of what we do, as your feedback ensures we’re providing you the services, infrastructure and support you need.
If you see Israel when you’re out and about across Greater Dandenong, be sure to say hi and check out the open engagements on our consultation page.
What do you love about your job so far? I love exploring ways to listen and serve our community better. Every day is a mix of meaningful conversations, fresh ideas and real impact. Seeing people feel heard and included makes my work feel like more than just a job – it’s a joy!
What attracted you to the City of Greater Dandenong? Its cosmopolitan feel. Greater Dandy is the place to be – a city where cultures meet, ideas thrive, and the food scene is next level. I’ve experienced the sense of community and warm neighbourly charm where a friendly chat with someone from one of over 150 nationalities is always just around the corner.
What do you like to do in your spare time? In my spare time, I’m a dedicated caddie for myself – mastering the art of becoming a semi-professional golfer. Otherwise, you’ll find me playing soccer or watching documentaries.
