We want you to share your best ideas for improving the Greater Geraldton City Region

The Alliance Governance Group has committed to review every proposal for change that meets its guidelines. Basically, you have to work together with at least 3 other residents to develop a proposal that answers four questions:

• What is the change you want to make?
• Why is this important to your community?
• How can this change be made?
• Where do we start?

Your proposal should be compelling enough to inspire at least 10 members of the community to endorse it.

You can see the full checklist of criteria in the Proposal checklist.

CivicEvolution helps citizens think together to create a community written answer to a question like this:

Here are a few things to keep in mind

• A plan explains what you want to change, why it is important, and how the change can be made
• Creating a plan provides a constructive opportunity for the community to think together
• You do this by listening to others, reflecting on what they say and responding respectfully
• It is essential that everyone is invited to participate and that the planning process is completely transparent
• This ensures that all voices are heard and all perspectives are considered
• People in your community will be instrumental in promoting, supporting, implementing and funding your plan
• The best way to mobilize them is to involve them in the planning as early as possible and consider their views throughout the process
• Remember, your community can only move forward if everyone is pulling in the same direction

Here's a quick look at how it works Click a link to learn more

1. A group answers a question by creating, discussing, editing, rating and selecting talking points
2. A talking point is a short sentence that clearly expresses a single idea
3. Breaking the answer into small chunks makes it easier for people to discuss each idea and express their preferences through rating
4. Anyone can add a talking point at any time
5. Every talking point has a discussion area where you can ask questions, express your concerns or suggest improvements
6. Talking points can be edited
7. Everyone should rate each talking point to indicate if they think it is acceptable
8. Each participant maintains a list of their five most favorite talking points
9. This combination of ratings and favorites helps the community select its best ideas
