Better Consultation and Accountability

Blog Green

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

  • Make sure decisions about expenditure, projects and public land are made in public, with information easily available
