Frequently Asked Questions

Let's Talk Scenic Rim is Council's online community engagement site.  This is where you can help inform Council's decision making by sharing your ideas or feedback on a variety of projects.  You can also get updates on projects and how about how your input has contributed to Council's decisions.

 Council uses an international standard  for community engagement which guides Council how and when community is involvement in projects.  This way Council can ensure people have a say in decisions, policies, and programs so the results better reflect what the community needs and wants.

Council wants to hear from many voices to make better decisions. We aim to:
1. Include people from diverse backgrounds.
2. Share clear and useful information.
3. Offer different ways to get involved.
4. Learn from each engagement to improve future ones.

This helps Council make decisions that reflect what matters to the community.

Registration is quick and easy and will make it easier for you to participate in projects that interest you.

We ask for your name and email address and a few details such as gender, age and location so that we can better understand who we're hearing from and make sure we get a broad cross section of views from our community.  It also ensures discussions and results are not manipulated by someone leaving multiple comments to support their own position.
However, some engagement opportunities such as quick polls and surveys may not require registration.
For transparency, your feedback may be published as part of reporting, however, we respect your privacy and all identifying information will be removed and your feedback kept anonymous. 

For details on our privacy commitment, please read our Privacy Statement. 

This platform is a convenient and easy way to engage with us.  It helps to ensure that we hear from a diverse range of community members offering a broad range of perspectives.

It doesn't replace, but complements traditional face-to-face engagement activities including workshops, forums and drop-in sessions.

All comments, ideas and suggestions are collated into a report which is given to Council and shared with the community so that everyone can see all the feedback received.  The community's input is used to inform Council decision-making processes for the development of strategies, policies, projects and activities. Online feedback is used in conjunction with other face-to-face consultation activities.
