“Council wants to ensure we are providing the right services that support the communit ies needs. It is also a great opportunity for us to update the community on Council projects, decisions and activities throughout the year.

“Council’s whole-of-council commitment to engaging with the community is about encouraging the community to share their ideas and concerns in their local areas. We love getting out and speaking with people through productive and inclusive conversations.

“I encourage the community to drop-in to the Council Listening Posts and come and chat with myself and my fellow Councillors about any topic on their minds.”
