Projects that are open for feedback are published on The Loop and able to be translated into ten different languages.

You can share your thoughts and ideas by responding to short surveys and other online tools or providing feedback face-to-face when opportunities to meet are available.

The Loop is an additional online engagement tool which complements traditional face-to-face consultation, such as workshops, pop-ups and forums. It provides an alternative and convenient option for those who may not be able to attend face-to-face activities.

Signing up to The Loop is your opportunity to share ideas and help shape Wyndham projects. Signing up is easy and means that you don’t miss an opportunity!

Just answer a few questions and you will receive email alerts for projects and content that match your interests. You can explore projects by topic (roads, buildings, families etc.) or by suburbs and follow projects as they progress to see how your input is used.

Your feedback is just one important input into the decision making process for this project.

A Community Engagement Report will be provided after the engagement process has closed which will report back on what you told us.

We will combine your feedback received with other evidence, including research and customer data, expert knowledge and our strategic policies and guiding legislation to come to an informed decision around the next steps for this project.

Please only provide one feedback submission per person. All feedback received and IP addresses will be monitored to make sure no multiple entries or SPAM responses are submitted.

Please note:
If comments / feedback is received that are not related to the topic we’re asking about, they won’t be included in the results.

We also won’t include any feedback that is inappropriate, offensive, or disrespectful.

Knowing a little more about who we hear from in our community means we can better understand who is providing feedback and if that feedback is representative of the Wyndham population.

This data can also help us to keep improving our engagement processes to make sure we hear from everyone to help Council decision making.

Your details will be kept private and confidential and will only be used for the purposes of the Community Engagement project.

You can read more about our Privacy Policy here.

Public exhibition is the final step in a community engagement process. It gives community a chance to look at draft plans or policies and have your say before Council makes a final decision.

Why we do it

• It helps Council to be open and fair.
• It gives the community a chance to read, understand and give feedback.
• Your feedback can help improve the final decision.

How it works

• Council shares draft documents, such as plans, policies, maps or reports.
• You will have at least 28 calendar days to read and respond.
• You can give your thoughts, ideas or concerns in writing.

When do we do it

Council will share draft documents through public exhibition when:

• It is legislated that it needs to occur, or
• Community engagement has previously occurred and the public exhibition is a final check-in to ensure nothing has been missed, or
• The decision to be made will have a big or long-lasting impact and is important to the community.

What happens after

• Feedback from the public exhibition is collected and considered.
• Council will make a final decision at a Council Meeting.
