To aid me in understanding the real issues that residents want Council to prioritise over the next 4 years, I recently commissioned an online survey; the details of which were distributed in letterboxes throughout Toorak Ward as well as online.

We have had an overwhelming response to the survey, with feedback highlighting concerns and opportunities for Council to focus on the following critical areas:

Improved road conditions, safety, and regular infrastructure maintenance.
