Better Consultation and Accountability

Everyone’s voice matters. We’ll engage in active consultation where the community can come together to really have a say about services, how our money is spent, and what the future of the Hawkesbury will be.

On Council, we will:

Hold regular public meetings across the Hawkesbury to discuss local issues
Make sure Council is a clear, prompt, respectful and responsive communicator
Refocus on Council’s role as a service provider for our community
Ensure integrity and transparency in all facets of Council’s work
Worry less about social media and more about real social engagement
Reinstate advisory committees, so Council decisions are informed by experts and people with lived experience
Make sure decisions about expenditure, projects and public land are made in public, with information easily available
