- The email may have gone into your "spam email" folder. Check there first.
- Your email service provider may have a really strong firewall that is blocking the activation email. This happens occasionally. Contact your service provider.
- You may have typed your email address incorrectly - it's very easy to inadvertently use a coma instead of a full stop if you're in a rush. An accidental full stop or underscore can make all the difference in the world.
- Someone else in your family has used your email address to establish an account in the past;
- You have used this site before and forgotten; in which case see question: I've forgotten my password and/or my username. What should I do?

How does being a registered user benefit me?
Registration will give you full access to the site and allows us to email you when a new project, or project update is added.
Knowing a little more about who you are and how you live, work and play in the Glenelg Shire helps us gather higher quality of data to go along with your feedback. It will also help us to target feedback from specific groups (e.g. age, gender) and in-turn will provide a richer and more valuable response to help Council make decisions.
Tell me more about the registration fields.
Email - Your email address is used to verify that you are a genuine user. We also email you to keep you updated on engagement activities that interest you and tell you about the final outcomes of projects you contribute to.
Demographics - such as suburb and age can be used to identify people for targeted engagement projects, e.g. feedback specific to residents of Casterton; Basic demographics will it also helps us to understand different views/opinions from different age groups.
Your Login/Screen Name will appear online with any feedback you provide to us. If you feel more comfortable retaining your anonymity, choose a unique screen that will not personally identify you.
Be sure to select a secure password that you will only know. We recommend that you use a mixture of upper case, lower case and/or a numbers to minimise the risk of your account being compromised.
There are a few fields that are optional for you to answer, filling out those questions will further help us to gain a better understanding about who you are. For example the question “Please indicate your main areas of interest” will allow us to communicate with your more effectively which means the e-mails we send will be less frequent and will be about topics that are of importance to you specifically, and not a standard e-mail we send to everyone.

Is there another way that I can provide feedback on consultations?
Surveys are available in hard copy form at request. You can make a request at any Customer Service location or by emailing yoursay@glenelg.vic.gov.au
