Help Shape Colac Otway's Future

Survey submissions have now closed. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to complete the Community Feedback Survey.

A community survey is now open on Council’s Have Your Say page and is expected to take about 15 minutes to complete.

Each eligible participant who completes the survey can opt to go into the draw to win one of ten $50 vouchers to a local business.

Thanks again to everyone who has applied to be a part of the Community Panel. Applications are now closed.

Colac Otway is recruiting community members from diverse cohorts across the shire to be part of a community panel across a series of three, 2-hour workshops to be held in Colac, Apollo Bay and Forrest.  

Each workshop is designed to build on the discussion of the previous workshop in what’s known as a deliberative approach to community engagement, so it’s important that you can commit to all three workshops. Participants will be selected based on ensuring a diversity of representation across age range, gender and location to help ensure the Council Plan is developed with a mix of views and perspectives about what’s important to our shire.
