Hard copy surveys now available for EV charging station

ATTENDEES at the Vietnam Veterans’ Day memorial service last Friday were encouraged to vote for the “ugly” and “offensive” EV station to be moved. Hard copy surveys have now been made available by Southern Grampians Shire Council following criticism by the veteran community that the online option only served to ostracise older veterans who do not use the internet or have access to a computer.

THE community engagement strategy undertaken by Southern Grampians Shire Council (SGSC) via an online survey on the location of the Evie EV Charging Station in Hamilton, has copped criticism again from the Hamilton RSL.

Last week, Council invited the community to provide feedback on three potential alternatives, however, only provided the option to complete the survey online via SGSC’s Have Your Say web page.
