The Budgeting Activity and Social Map were accessible online through the entire engagement period and in-person at 9 consultation events.
The community consultation received a response rate of 12 per cent of the Swan Valley population. This was made up from 514 participants in the Budgeting Activity and 148 submitted comments.

The outcomes analysis and community priorities will be published in the finalised Swan Valley Local Area Plan.
