Traditional community consultation usually involves attending 'town hall' meetings or providing written submissions to Council and this can often be time consuming and inconvenient, and sometimes intimidating. However, Have Your Say Mount Gambier gives you the opportunity to have your say on issues that are important to you, at a time and place of your choice.
