Consultation and community feedback
Participation in local decision-making by giving feedback allows individuals and organisations to shape Buller's future.
We seek the community's input on bylaws, the Council’s Long-Term Plan, Annual Plans, major reviews, significant changes, and other big-ticket items.
When Council asks the community for their views on these key topics, it is important to provide feedback so that Council can consider your thoughts. This will ensure that the communities' diverse views are taken into account when Council makes a decision.
Council follows a clearly defined and transparent process throughout each consultation, ensuring your feedback is read, acknowledged, and considered.
How do I give feedback?
Once a consultation opens, we publish the relevant information on our online community engagement hub Let's talk Buller.
Let’s talk Buller is an interactive platform with a wide range of tools to inform our community about Council's past, current, and future consultations, gather feedback, and send tailored updates on projects and initiatives that matter to you.
Join the conversation on Let's talk Buller - your space to share ideas, discuss key issues, provide feedback, and help shape the future of our district.
Latest consultation topic
Gambling Venues Policy
Council is gathering feedback from the community on the Draft Gambling Venues Policy.
Following on from earlier community engagement and consideration of a Social Impact Assessment Council is now seeking feedback from the community on its Draft Gambling Venues Policy, which sets out where and how venues can operate electronic gaming machines (pokies) and where standalone TAB venues can be located.
The draft policy keeps the requirement for any future applications for new venues or additional gaming machines to be publicly notified. This allows the community to make submissions, which Council will consider before making a decision on the application. We’re now inviting you to share your views on the draft policy.
Your feedback will help shape the final policy and ensure it reflects the values and needs of our community.
This survey is open from 19 November to 4:30 pm, 19 December 2025.
