Make a submission

What is a submission?

You can make a submission to give your feedback on consultations that we carry out on a regular basis.

A submission is a way that you can have a say on Council’s current consultations. You can make an individual submission, a submission on behalf of a group or a joint submission.

Guidelines to making a submission

If you're new to the concept of making a submission you can find out more by reading our Guide to making a submission (PDF 109 kb) and Guidelines to making a public comment.

Current submissions

View our current consultations to see what is currently open for feedback. These contain the details for each consultation and the relevant forms to send or complete online.  

Note: When submitting online you may need to register in the first instance to establish a login which can be used again in the future. Be sure to select the correct consultation if several are displayed.

If you're interested in giving feedback on a project or change but there isn't any public consultation going on right now, we can put you on a mailing list to get updates. Please get in touch with us and we'll help you get through to the right person.
