Frequently asked questions
Q: Can I come and talk to Council about my submission?
A: Yes! You are welcome to come to a meeting and present your submission in person. There are several options available over 3 days during May 14-16 including day and evening sessions.
Q: What can I expect on the day I come to make my submission?
A: A greeter will meet you and show you to the Council Chambers. You will be welcomed by the Mayor and then asked to present your submission. You will have 15 minutes to make your submission. The Councillors may ask you some questions to help understand your views. A decision will not be made on the day. This happens at a later stage.
Q: How soon can I expect a response to my submission?
A: An email will be sent to you following deliberations by 28 May. This will be followed by a letter sent to you following adoption of the plan by 13 July.
Q: What form of response will I receive?
A: You will receive an email and then a follow up letter notifying you of Council’s decision. The email will be brief, and will include the official decision relating to your submission as recorded in council minutes. For example “Council has agreed to provide $20,000 for the construction of a walkway at Mt Washington in 2018/19”. A more detailed letter, signed by Her Worship the Mayor will follow.
Q: Can I submit on other matters not included in the Long Term Plan 2018-28?
A:Yes, you can. The most important thing is to clearly identify what action you would like Council to take about your submission.
