There are many ways to participate in Local Government from attending a public meeting through to making a formal submission during a Special Consultative Procedure. We have an online consultation portal that's super easy to use. Go to the portal’s home page to take a look at the consultations we've got live right now as well as our recently closed consultations. All you need to do is register and you'll find everything you need to read up on and submit on any Council consultation. We're getting ready to hold our consultation on our proposed Long Term Plan for 2021-31. The consultation will run from 12 March to 12 April, instead of 5 March to 6 April, as we have previously communicated.
