Join our online community consultation panel and have Your Say!
Want to have your say on what's happening in our region? Then sign up to Council's online community consultation panel, YourSay, and contribute to surveys and discussion forums on topics that matter to you.
It's free and easy to join - and you can choose your own user name to comment anonymously. Your privacy is protected because the panel is hosted and moderated by an external independent organisation (Bang the Table), ensuring Council does not have access to users' details.
YourSay allows you to have your say anytime you access the internet, and is ideal if you do not have time to attend public meetings. To register, go to YourSay and be part of Council's exciting new online community panel.
Community Plan
Over the past months, Council has been seeking community views and ideas about how you want the future to look, to help shape the first ever Community Plan. The draft Plan was open for consultation from 21 March to 27 May, and community feedback is now being reviewed. Read more about the Cairns Regional Community Plan...
