Consultation has concluded

Council is reviewing the level of service that it provides in a wide range of areas including; roads and drainage; footpaths and cycle ways; parks and public spaces; sporting and recreational facilities; community buildings and public toilets; and cultural facilities.

Our aim is to become a more financially sustainable Council by 2019/2020. There are some important decisions to be made so that we appropriately allocate our funding in the future. We need your assistance to help us to understand the levels of service that you expect from us. In turn we need you to understand the challenges that we face in delivering these services to you.

We invite you to read the material provided in the Document Library to the right of your screen and complete the survey.

Public meetings have also been scheduled throughout the City and the dates and locations are promoted in Key Dates, also to the right. Please email rsvp@hawkesbury.nsw.gov.au indicating the number of people attending and the location in the subject line or call our Customer Service Team on (02) 4560 4444 to register.
