Community Consultation

We value and are committed to effective community consultation, because better decisions are made when there is community input. 

Public involvement and your feedback helps us to make well-informed decisions.  Our purpose is to make decisions and take action on behalf of our communities.   

Where any decision requires a special consultative procedure, we will follow the procedure prescribed in the relevant Act.
