Welcome to Maitland Your Say

Your views and contributions are an important part in growing a prosperous and vibrant city. Maitland is a strong, proud and active community, and we want this site to help Council better connect with all members of our community.

Our residents have told us they want more information, and more ways of telling us their ideas and thoughts. ‘Maitland Your Say’ has been designed to give you access to this through meaningful, informed and genuine community participation on a range of projects, plans and strategies relating to Maitland. Think of this site as a gateway to providing ideas and views on issues at a time that is suited to you, 24 hours a day, and 7 days a week.
