Have Your Say Online
The City Council has set up a new website that gives information
about the projects it’s consulting on and allows people to have their
say online. The site – www.ccc.govt.nz/HaveYourSay – went live earlier this week.
Christchurch City Council Consultation Project Leader Philippa
Joughin says the idea is to make it as easy as
possible for the public to get involved and
access the information they want, quickly. “It’s a one-stop shop for consultation,” she says. “People now have
one central point where they can go to find the most up-to-date
information possible about what the Council is consulting on and have
their say at the same time.” The website is another eCouncil project that aims to make it easy to
access information and “do business” with the Council using the web. “Save time and lowering costs by making information as easy to
access as possible is the vision of the eCouncil project,” says the City
Council’s eCouncil Team Leader Simone Pearson. The online rates information website –
www.ratesinfo.ccc.govt.nz – is another
project under the eCouncil banner. Set up in
November 2001, it allows Christchurch homeowners to check
valuation and rates information for their properties online. |
