⭐ Project background

Council is seeking community feedback on a proposed change to the current divisional arrangements. This change would see the number of divisions increase from four (4) to ten (10), with one Councillor per division instead of the current dual-councillor arrangement.

Thank you to everyone who shared their thoughts. Council is now reviewing your feedback.

Proposed arrangement

Proposed arrangement

This proposal considers many factors including:

  • Managing a fast-growing city with many distinct communities and geographical areas
  • Community needs and expectations
  • Service responsiveness and efficiency
  • Elected representation, governance and accountability

The specific divisional boundaries will be determined at a later date.
