If you need the pothole in your road fixed or need to report something else that Council can assist with, please see our support staff now. Once you’ve done that you can focus on the consultation content and hopefully submit your feedback.
Format:
After the key issues have been presented, the team will take clarifying questions. The aim of this is to make sure you have all the details about what we are consulting on.
