Dates and locations for the forums are as follows:

- Wednesday, June 18, 7pm: Mildura
- Thursday, June 19, 7pm: Ararat

Locations are chosen in consultation with industry stakeholders to allow as many participants as possible to attend, including on race-free days on June 16 and 22.
HRV is planning further forums in September, following on from its March roadshows.
