Our flags at all Council buildings are at half-mast today in remembrance of Dr Tim Read.
The State Memorial Service to honour his life will be held at 3.30pm this afternoon at Melbourne Town Hall.
Elected in 2018 as the State Member for Brunswick, the MP and former GP will be remembered by many in our community for his work as the State representative for Yarra residents in Princes Hill, Carlton North and Fitzroy North.
We once again thank Tim for his service to Yarra and politics in Victoria. Our thoughts and condolences go out to his family and loved ones.

Tim will be remembered as one of Victoria's most respected parliamentarians, serving the people of Brunswick and the state for over eight years.
Before entering Parliament, Tim began his career as a general practitioner in community health before specialising in sexual health in the public system.
In 2018, Tim was elected as the first Greens member for Brunswick, championing action on climate change, improved sustainable transport, and campaigned for democratic safeguards, integrity reforms and stronger protections for renters.
Tim will be remembered as a proud and passionate Green and a principled changemaker who led with sincerity, warmth, and an unwavering commitment to improving the lives of Victorians.
