Letters and Surveys
Writing letters is one of the most powerful actions. They are given considerable weight at local government level. One letter can go to many. The Federal member, the Division 10 Councillor and the other Division Councillors who all have to jointly approve the funding.
Independent surveys give us an opportunity to cross check the Council’s figures.

GC Have Your Say Survey
