Over the coming months Weddin Shire Council is reviewing the Community Strategic Plan.
As part of this Council is conducting community engagement to capture and measure community sentiment with regard to both the current and future priorities and needs of our residents. We have commissioned Micromex Research, an experienced and independent research consultancy to conduct part of this consultation.

Further to this an online version of the survey is now available for the community to complete. Please find below a QR code and link to the Weddin Community Survey for Weddin Shire Residents to complete.
