Over the past two weeks, the City of Playford has opened up the conversation with our community through our mini-meet sessions.

Through these small group discussions, Council has listened to what your top three priorities are and why.

A variety of priorities were brought to the table from infrastructure requirements and city presentation to access to community services and information.

This community input, along with hundreds of other online and postal submissions, will be collated to help develop the Strategic Plan 2020-2024.

There is still time for you to have your say. You have until 16 August to submit your top three priorities by visiting: https://playford.engagementhub...
