Western Bay Council Promotes Participation Ahead of Local Elections

As the local government elections approach, the Western Bay District Council is taking steps to increase community engagement. With significant changes to the council structure, participation is more critical than ever.

New voting systems and reduced council members aim to encourage fairer representation. The council is rolling out initiatives such as 90-second candidate videos and easy-to-access voting bins to help residents get involved.

With the election date set for October 11, there’s an urgent call for everyone to learn about candidates and processes. The aim is to create a well-informed electorate ready to engage in local governance.
