Invitation to have a say

Having a say has never been easier at Isaac Regional Council, Queensland, with the launch of a brand-new online community engagement platform.

Speak Up Isaac is a new way to get people engaged with what Council is doing, and to find out about what is important to the community.

Mayor, Anne Baker, said by using the available technology, Council could continue to innovate the way it engages with the community.

“The current atmosphere has made it more apparent than ever the importance of staying connected and engaging with each other when we can’t be face-to-face.

“Speak Up Isaac will provide the Isaac community with an online platform for engagement and consultation in a safe and supported
environment.”

Mayor Baker said the information provided by the community would help deliver projects and activities that they value the most.

“We want the community to have the opportunity to easily ask questions and to drive conversation about our region in a valuable way.

“We are a region driven by pure people power, and people power does not stop at the front door of your home.”
