Community Consultation
2007-2008

opportunity to provide input into a broad range of
projects, services, priorities and issues of both local
and municipal-wide importance.

One such example was the consultation on the Domestic
Animal (Dogs and Cats) Management Plan. Initially the
consultation period was to close late 2007 but as a result
of community feedback the City moved the closing date
for submissions out to February 2008. By accomodating
this request dog owners had greater opportunity to
participate and a total of 904 submissions were
subsequently received.
During the year many consultations involved multiple
events and different methods including focus groups,
telephone, door-knock and postal surveys, submissions,
public meetings and working groups. It’s important for us
to know the views of our community and we appreciate
the effort made in taking part in these activities.
The following is a list of projects consulted on during
2007-2008.
