Public Question Time
The City welcomes community participation in its decision making processes through public question time.
Our Council knows that when someone takes the time to ask a question at a Council meeting, it is very important to them. We value that feedback.
With over 245,000 residents at the City, there is a high demand for public question time.
You can honour the rights of your fellow community members to have time to ask their questions in the following ways:
- Seeking information from City officers before the meeting. We can be more generous with our time outside the busy Council Chambers
- Contacting your ward Councillor before the meeting. Ward Councillors can also be more generous with their time outside the Council Chambers
- Not including any preambles or statements. We will generally know what your question is about. If we don’t we will ask you for more information
- Not asking your question if a similar question has already been asked. Asking the same question multiple times does not increase its impact, it may have the opposite effect
- Asking your question online using the online form below, and not at the meeting. Every question asked online is answered in writing and recorded in the minutes
- Asking a short, direct question. Lengthy questions are hard to follow and lose their impact
- Taking any offer to meet with you to discuss your concerns. Meeting on site with an officer or a Councillor is a better way of understanding concerns.
If you have any questions about public question time, please contact us on (08) 9205 8555 or governance@stirling.wa.gov.au
