Consulting the Community
Consultation is an important means of gathering community feedback. The information assists Council to understand the community’s view on proposals, find out how widespread a particular concern is, plan for the future needs of the municipality and make decisions that are fair to the whole community.
Council consults with the community through planning consultation forums, interviews, resident surveys, invitations for submissions, committees, public meetings, information nights, direct mail to residents, the provision of drafts and exhibits for public comment, on-site meetings, online surveys and at Special Committee Meetings where residents are given the opportunity to comment on any issue.
