Council will implement a series of Community Meetings during each year to hear from community members, allowing them an opportunity to hear from the Councillors on proposed projects and for the Councillors to listen to community concerns on matters that require attention.
Feedback from the community meetings will be made available on the website as soon as possible following the meetings.
From time to time the Council will also seek valuable input from the Community during consultation on a particular item or matter. This may be done through the use of the Have Your Say section of the Website. A link to that section of the website is available here - https://www.carpentaria.qld.gov.au/council/have-your-say
