Online engagement complements the traditional face-to-face consultations methods already in place. Council holds annual community consultations across the region and quarterly Community Reference Group (CRG) meetings in each of the thirteen Central Highlands communities. The Have Your Say website is designed to make it easier for community members to provide feedback on a range of issues. The information gathered feeds directly into council’s decision-making process. 

Moderators do not edit or alter any comments and will only remove comments deemed to be significantly off topic, offensive or malicious. The contributor will be advised of comments that have been removed and the reasons explained. If your comment is moderated you will have the opportunity to alter your comment and repost. Refer to the Moderation Policy for more information.
