Your Voice Matters: Shape the Future of Wingecarribee!

Published on 24 May 2024

Wingecarribee Shire Council is committed to working with you to build a better future for our community. That's why we offer a variety of ways for residents to get involved and have your say on important projects, policies, and plans. Council’s online engagement platform, Participate Wingecarribee, is your opportunity to provide feedback and access information about current items on public exhibition, community consultation projects as well as the Council’s current plans and strategies.

There are currently several opportunities for you to share your ideas and get involved – help shape projects and services that are important to you for your local town or village. Through surveys, submissions, and discussions, you can directly influence local projects and services.
