Mackay Regional Council is seeking community input on the idea of reverting to electoral divisions.
Mackay Regional Council currently has an undivided council – 10 Councillors and a Mayor – representing the entire local government area.
At the March ordinary meeting of council, a resolution was carried to undertake a preliminary, low-cost consultation process to assess community sentiment on the idea of having a divided council.
In a divided council, Councillors are elected to represent divisions.
This survey is open to Mackay Regional Council residents only.
The survey will be live on council’s Connecting Mackay website from 9am, Sunday, May 4, 2025, until 11.59pm Sunday, June 1, 2025.
After the survey has concluded, council will review the result and the amount of community interest and decide whether to progress to a formal review involving the State Government.
Should you have any questions about this consultation, please contact council’s Community Engagement Team on1300 MACKAY (622 529) or email engagement@mackay.qld.gov.au
