📣 Have your say on the future of the Shire of Irwin

As part of our Strategic Community Planning, we’re now conducting phone surveys to hear directly from our community about what matters most to you and what you’d like to see for the future of the Shire.

📞 Want to take part? Simply contact Shire Reception by phone 9927 0000 or email [email protected] and we’ll add you to the list.

⏰ Registrations close Friday, 4 September.

The phone surveys will continue until we have received enough responses to provide a statistically valid and representative sample of the diverse views across our community.

Your voice matters and your feedback will help shape the priorities and direction of the Shire into the future.
