How do I make a submission?

    For electronic/online submissions: Our Have Your Say screen has a "Make A Submission" section. You can upload an existing document using the Lodge a Submission link or you can type your comments in the field provided. You will be required to register legitimate contact details for your submission to be accepted.

    For submissions on paper: clearly mark your correspondence as a "Submission to the Youth Issues and Options Paper". It should be sent to: The General Manager, Coffs Harbour City Council, Locked Bag 155, Coffs Harbour, NSW 2450. Alternatively paper submissions can be delivered to Council's Administrative Centre at the corner of Coff and Castle Streets, Coffs Harbour (Mon-Fri, 8.30am to 4.30pm). Please provide your contact details to assist us to respond to your submission.

    What happens to my submission?

    Council will acknowledge receipt of submissions to the Youth Issues and Options Paper. Submissions will be referred to Council staff for comment before being considered by Council prior to the finalisation of the Youth Issues and Options Paper.

    Following the adoption of the Youth Issues and Options Paper, Council will respond to submission writers to advise the outcome of each submission.

    I can’t seem to find a template or specific questions you’re seeking submission content about .

    We are seeking feedback on the options presented in the paper against each of the 12 themes. You may provide feedback only on the options that you are specifically interested in – or all of them. 

    You may wish to simply prioritise the options presented in the paper, or provide learned commentary and expand on them. 

    You may also use your industry knowledge to suggest other options for each theme. Keep in mind, that council can only act on suggestions where they have the jurisdiction and resources to do so.
