Q. How do I submit my feedback?

To particpate simply register with us, and start sharing your ideas and comments. Alternatively you can contact the relevant project officer responsible, thier contact details are in the FAQ section of each project.
Q. What's the difference between a formal submission form & a survey?
It is Council policy that a formal submission is required for some specific projects or decisions, or to fulfill a legislative requirement. These are usually for strategic decisions (e.g. Annual Budget) and also include the provision of a lease/licence over community land or within Park Lands. A formal submission requires the contact name and address of respondants which becomes public information and is provided to Council for thier consideration. For more information view our Public Communication and Consultation Policy.
Q. What happens to my feedback / comments?
All comments, ideas and suggestions are collated and used by the relevant project officer to inform the development of strategies, programs and activities, or to gain an insight into commuinty views and opinions.
Often, feedback provided online is used in conjuction with other face-to-face consultation activities such as workshops, meetings, open days or surveys.
When each consultation closes, all contribitions are compiled into a report, which will be presented to Council when considering the particular matter.
A copy of the report will also be posted on YourSay Adelaide for reference, removing any identification.
