Scam call
Council has received reports that there is someone calling residents asking to complete the Community Vision 2040 survey. This is not council. This is a scam. Please do not provide any personal information or answer any questions. Look out for your family and friends by letting them know.
Please be reminded that the council will not be calling you to complete the survey, beware of the scam call and do not provide personal data
