Residents can become involved in decisions affecting their local area by attending a Community Forum.
The Forums provide the Community an opportunity to express their ideas, concerns or suggestions on the following matters:
- Traffic and parking
- Parks and Recreation maintenance and proposals
- Development proposals
- Waste management
- Environmental issues
- Drainage
- Road Maintenance.
Each Community Forum elects an Executive for a period of 12 months. The executive consists of a Chairperson, Secretary, Deputy Chairperson and Assistant Secretary.
All Forums hold meetings once a month.
