Taking part
Wodonga Wire does not receive questions, petitions or submissions. The ways to take part are Council’s own, and Have Your Say links to each.
Wodonga Wire keeps no register of petitions, because it cannot yet read them from the minutes reliably; how to present one to Council is under Attend or question Council.
