We want everyone who wishes to participate online to feel welcome and find the experience rewarding. We want consultation to take place in a safe space online where users feel valued and comfortable contributing to discussions. 

This consultation portal is hosted by the Engagement Hub software (“software”), owned by My Business App Pty. Ltd., on behalf of the Shire of Mundaring.
