Help shape the way we deliver news and information. We're seeking your feedback about the topics you want to hear about, and how – whether that’s through the Let’s Talk Bayside magazine, social media, e-newsletters or other channels.

We know that:

• Different people want different things. Some like to be across everything Council is doing, while others only want updates on what directly affects their street or neighbourhood. Both perspectives matter, and this is your chance to shape the mix of information you receive.

• People access information in different ways. Not everyone feels confident online, and some residents use accessibility tools such as screen readers, hearing loops, or magnifiers. Council wants to make sure its communication is inclusive, accessible and works for everyone.

• Local news is harder to come by now local papers are no longer printed. That’s why we’re taking a closer look at how we can best meet the community’s information needs with the resources we have.

Your input will guide what Council should do more of, and what we could do less of, so our communication best meets the community’s needs. Council’s This Week in Bayside e-newsletter was launched as a result of community feedback in 2019 – so your feedback makes a difference!

It’s easy to take part, simply:

• complete the full survey on this page or pick up a copy at Bayside Libraries or the Corporate Centre, or

• look for the shorter reader survey in the October edition of Let’s Talk Bayside.

Plus you could win a prize! Complete a valid survey and you can go in the draw to win one of five $100 vouchers. Terms and conditions apply.

Consultation closes 30 November 2025.
