Prepare for bushfire season: With the onset of the bushfire danger period, it’s time to prepare your property.

Customer Satisfaction Survey: Council’s biennial Customer Satisfaction Survey is being undertaken by Jetty Research, who will be contacting a statistically valid sample of residents across the area. This survey will be used to gauge community satisfaction as a whole, as well as exploring more specifically council’s service delivery, how residents receive information from council, and how council is moving towards achieving the community vision and wellbeing. In the coming week, the survey will also be placed at yourvoice.qprc.nsw.gov.au for those who would like to participate but aren’t randomly contacted.
Platypus sightings: We are now in the breeding season and people have been seeing platypus in the Queanbeyan and Shoalhaven Rivers.

We keep records of the sightings and share information with the Australian Platypus Conservancy. Report to platypus@qprc.nsw.gov.au.
