Community Engagement

Council's decision making is shaped and improved through regular two-way communication with the community that elected members represent.

Community meetings and other engagement activities are undertaken to provide the opportunity for the community to provide feedback on matters important to you.

Outside of these formal opportunities, residents can lodge a customer request here.

Councillor Catch-ups

Councillors are getting out and about across the region to meet with residents as part of their commitment to listen and report back to the Maranoa.

These sessions provide an opportunity to meet with Councillors face-to-face in your local area to informally chat about what’s important to you and to ask questions about what Council is doing in your town and the broader region.

Keep an eye on our social media for the next round of Catch-ups.

Past Catch-ups

In April 2026, Councillors travelled across the region for Councillor Pre-Budget Forums to give residents a valuable opportunity to meet with Councillors, ask questions about the budget process, and share views about budget priorities that could contribute to development of the Maranoa Region.

Across 3 days, Councillors went to Muckadilla, Amby, Dunkeld, Begonia, Mungallala, Mitchell, Noonga, Jackson, Yuleba, Teelba, Wallumbilla, Surat, Eumamurrin, Bymount, Injune, and Roma.

Maranoa ratepayers and residents found more about the 2025/26 budget through Councillor Budget Forums that took place in August 2025.

During these forums, ratepayers and residents discovered key projects and future plans taking place in their local areas. This is part of Council’s commitment to listen and report back to the Maranoa.

In May 2025, Councillors went out and about across the region, meeting with residents as part of their commitment to listen and reported back to the Maranoa.
