Workshop 2 - Survey

Workshop 2 - Values survey

At Workshop #2 we started to look at what values we share as a community that can help us make decisions – about what energy options might suit, where they might be located, what ownership and benefit arrangements might work best.

The following values were presented for discussion – including what exactly they might mean, and participants were asked to rank which ones were most important to them.

The following survey gives all community members the opportunity to rank the importance of these values, and to add any comments to each one about what this means to you.

The full Workshop #2 Harvest Report is now available on our website – with a detailed information about what we heard from participants in relation to these shared values.

You can access the full report here.
