There are no right or wrong answers. The purpose of these consultations is to hear community views, identify opportunities and concerns, and better understand what information residents would like before future decisions are made.
Every submission contributes to a stronger understanding of community priorities and helps inform the work ahead.
EOI forms and Community Consultation documents are available online through the Participation section of this website, from the Hub in Foodland Mall, or by contacting GNI directly at contact@govni.org.
Your voice matters.
Get involved and help shape the future of Norfolk Island.
