Electors of the City of Canning (the City) can present a petition for the consideration of Council.

The City has an online ePetition system to facilitate the creation of ePetitions and collection of signatures.

Petitions can be submitted manually via the following process:

  • Lodge your petition form to the City's Administration, addressed to the Mayor.

Online ePetitions and manual petitions must comply with the City's Standing Orders Local Law 2015.
