We’re currently developing our Council Plan which sets out the key priorities that Council will focus on over the next four years.

Here are some reminders to help keep this a place where people can be a part of the conversation in a respectful way.
1. Be kind and courteous
We all want to help our community and environment to thrive. Healthy debates are natural; just remember to be polite in your discussions.
2. Practice respect
Bullying of any kind isn't allowed, and it’s never OK to make degrading comments about things like race, religion, culture, sexual orientation, gender or identity.
3. Contribute constructively
We want everyone to be able to contribute their thoughts to any topic. Just make sure what you have to say is relevant and constructive. Off-topic comments, spam or irrelevant links will be hidden or deleted.
4. Respect everyone's privacy
Do not post personal information of yourself or others (such as names, contact details or car registration details) anywhere on this page. Do not try to “name and shame” community members or Council staff. You can see our full privacy policy at:
www.centralgoldfields.vic.gov.au/PrivacyPolicy
We retain the right to delete any post or comment we feels violates the guidelines above. In addition, defamation laws now apply to pages, and as the publisher of this page we reserve the right to delete comments or switch off commenting altogether if there are any that run the risk of defaming anyone. We will also ban people from our page if we feel that they have consistently ignored our page rules.
