Council has begun a series of community consultation forums to hear what its residents and ratepayers have to say about the future of our local Palerang area.

Those taking part are being asked to comment on what they value most about the Palerang area now, what they see as challenges facing Palerang and how these may be addressed to make Palerang a better place to live in the future.
