Glenelg Shire residents are invited to take the opportunity to chat with councillors and staff about local projects, highlight ideas and more as Council\u2019s Listening Post program gets underway this year.<\/p>\n
Nelson will play host to the first of Council\u2019s 2023 \u2013 2024 Listening Posts, with a drop in session being held from 11am-1pm at the Nelson Hotel (pictured) on Friday.<\/p>\n
Glenelg Shire Mayor Cr Scott Martin aid the Listening Posts were designed to provide an informal, relaxed opportunity for the community to meet with Councillors and staff to exchange information and ideas.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur 2021-2025 Council Plan makes a commitment to host engagement sessions, and we know that many community members do not wish to attend a formal meeting or appointment to discuss ideas for their township or relevant group,\u201d Cr Martin said. \u201cAs a result, the Listening Posts provide a more relaxed setting for residents to feel comfortable to \u2018drop in\u2019 and share their ideas.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur first Listening Post will take place in Nelson as promised at the March Council meeting . I encourage Nelson residents to drop in anytime between 11am \u2013 1pm at the Nelson Hotel.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is no need to RSVP, simply come down and share your ideas – this could be on improvements for the town, ideas on current and future services or simply just to touch base and connect with council.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cr Martin thanked all those who provided feedback via a survey on Council\u2019s Your Say Glenelg website about the Listening Posts earlier this year.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe released a survey a few months ago to determine the community\u2019s preferred dates, times, and locations to host the Listening Post sessions across the Shire,\u201d he said. \u201cI thank the community groups and individuals who took the time to provide their preferences – we received a number of responses that helped us set the 2023\/2024 program.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
