Explaining the Consultation Process

i thought I better put a post up explaining submissions and all that sort of stuff and a bit about the process that the council goes through.

When the council writes important documents that affect the community it goes through what we call a consultation process. This means that for a certain period of time the public (you) are able to make a submission to council on an issue or document (the LTCCP) what this means is that you put your thoughts, ideas and opinions onto paper (or screen) and send it to the council.

The council then considers your thoughts, ideas and opinions and makes decisions about what changes should or shouldn't be made.
