We also encourage community groups to have their say, so if you're a member of a community organisation, pass the word around and get people to share their comments.Will all public suggestions be incorporated into the Concept Plan?
The simplest answer is - it depends... on available funding, resources and how many other people in the community agree with the suggestion.
It's fair to say that all suggestions will be considered and those with merit implemented - but some suggestions are likely to be beyond the capabilities of Council, other levels of government, or the community to deliver. However, that should not stop people making suggestions.
