Have your say and help shape Moreton Bay

Residents can help shape Moreton Bay through Council’s city-wide Moreton Says survey, now open until March 29.

Mayor Peter Flannery is encouraging people to get involved, to help Council better understand and keep track of what matters most to the community.

“We want to know your thoughts on liveability and lifestyle, local jobs and business support, disaster preparedness, sport and recreation and your experience with Council,” Mayor Flannery said.

“Your feedback is crucial in helping us make better decisions for the whole community; it’s another way we listen and this helps us improve how we work.

“The previous surveys have highlighted improvements to how we communicate disaster preparedness, with residents saying they are willing to prepare but not always sure how.”

The Mayor said Council has been able to refine how it communicates important information to support community disaster readiness.

“City of Moreton Bay's Disaster Management team have used vital Moreton Says data to rethink how they communicate hazard risks and household preparedness tools,” he said.

“These messages are vital, with more than 30 per cent of survey participants telling us they accessed information on natural hazard risk before moving to City of Moreton Bay.

“Understanding how residents feel has helped Council move towards more interactive engagement opportunities that show people what preparedness actually looks like.”

Since Moreton Says launched in 2021, City of Moreton Bay has collected more than 30,000 survey responses.

The next round of Moreton Says is now open. Complete the survey here and go in the draw to win 1 of 20 Moreton Money gift cards valued at $100 each.
