Helping Council improve how we communicate with you and hear your feedback.

Council is inviting residents, businesses and visitors to our region to complete a short survey. Your feedback will help us improve how we share information, listen to our community, and create better opportunities for participation and feedback.

The survey will only take a few minutes to complete. Your responses will help us better connect with you so we can understand the needs and priorities of our Wattle Range communities. It will also help us improve how we share information and gather feedback both now and into the future.
