Petitions

Petitions inform Council, in a public way, of the views of a section of the community and serve as one means of placing community concerns before Council. 

Any elector of the Shire of York, or a group of electors, may petition Council to take some form of action over a particular issue. For example, petitions may ask Council to change an existing policy, local law, or recent decision, or for Council to take action for a certain purpose or for the benefit of particular persons.

The subject of a petition must be a matter on which Council has the power to act.

If you would like to submit a Petition, please refer to the following documentation to ensure your petition meets the necessary criteria:
