We often ask you to take part in community consultations.

We might ask you about a new playground design, a plan for improving neighbourhood streets or how we spend our budget.

This ensures that our decisions consider your needs and priorities.

To help make sure your voice is heard, we need to know a few things about you. This includes what you would like to be asked about, and how you would like to share your thoughts.

Your feedback will help us develop our next Community Engagement Policy.

Take our survey to win

A consultation about consultation? It sounds a bit odd! But having your input helps us make better, more informed decisions. And if that isn’t enough to convince you to take our quick survey, you could win one of five $100 gift vouchers. How good is that?

To be in the running, take the survey by Friday 13 September 2019.

Having your say on decisions that affect you

What's most important to you?

We provide a wide range of programs, services and infrastructure. We often seek community feedback to help inform improvements and changes. Which of these areas would you like to hear about and be consulted on? Choose as many options as you like.
