When you submit a comment to a consultation forum, your comment will be posted online where others can read and comment on your suggestion.  

When each forum is complete, all contributions are collated and used by the relevant project officer to inform the development of strategies, programs and activities, or to gain an insight into commuinty views and opinions.

Often, feedback provided online is used in conjuction with other face-to-face consultation activities such as workshops, meetings, open days or surveys.

When each consultation closes, contribitions are compiled into a report, which will be presented to Council when considering the particular matter.

Please note that all feedback provide during consultation will be considered, however this does not mean that every suggestion will be taken on board and adopted as proposed.

All moderation is carried out by Bang the Table and is independent of City of Unley. The moderators do not edit or alter any comments and will only remove comments deemed to be significantly off topic, offensive or malicious, in which case they are removed form the site immediately.

Formal submissions may be required for some specific projects or decisions or to fulfil a legislative obligation.  A formal submission requires the contact name and address of participants which becomes public information and is provided to Council for consideration.

Surveys and forums may be used for general, non-statutory prescribed consultation where we are gathering feedback and/or generating ideas through discussions and further collaboration.
