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. Current Items for Consultation Reserve Management Plans Reviews After the period for submissions has closed, a copy of the submissions with a recommendation are presented to Council. Council's decisions are then communicated to all submitters.
