Every campaign that’s open
Real decisions with a date attached, and an organisation named on each one. What you’ll actually be doing, how long it takes and what it pays are on the card before you open anything.

Where it is
Real or worked example
What do these mean?
- Battle
- More things you want than there's room for. Something goes.
- Choose
- A call you have to make, and what it rules out is on the screen.
- Build
- Pick the big thing first, then fit what's left around it.
- Map
- Put a marker on somewhere you actually know, and say what happens there.
- Spend
- Something that runs out — money, points, votes — and choices that cost you something.
- Create
- Make something of your own, and see what others made.
- Track
- The same plain question as last time, so the change is the answer.

These narrow what you see and nothing else. Every campaign on this page is open to you whichever chips are on. No screening questions, and nothing to sign up to first. Whether your answer is useful comes out of what you say, not out of a filter at the door.
Everything here is a worked example: built by us end to end, with invented organisations, so you can walk a whole campaign before one is open near you. Nobody is collecting it for a decision.

Beachfront court resurfacing

Ashenden Aquatic Centre concepts

School holiday program 2027
- Battle
The holiday program costs more than the money left for it. Say what stays and what goes, and whether the money should be spent on holidays at all.
Closed, and what came back
A campaign does not disappear when it stops taking answers. It stays here with the date it named, and what came back — or the fact that nothing has.
- Reported back 24 August 2026
The pool shuts in 2028 and $4.1m is committed to what goes on the site. What should it be?
The concept design is a covered courts hall with a 20m pool and an outdoor deck, open 6am to 10pm.
What didn'tThe 25m pool. The operating budget cannot carry it alongside the hours, and the swim club will move to Ferngate.
- No outcome published
The pool shuts in 2028 and the new thing opens in 2029 at the earliest. What happens in between?
Corbin Bay Council said everyone would hear back by 12 March 2027. Nothing has been.
What they promisedThis stays here until they publish. If you answered it, your campaigns page counts the days.This one is advice, not a decision you hold. We'll publish what people said and what we did about it by 12 March 2027, including the parts we couldn't act on.

What does the youth space have to do to be worth having?
The space opens in September with long opening hours and a quiet room, and without the kitchen.
What didn'tThe kitchen stayed a kitchenette. A full kitchen came third on the list, and it needed $70,000 and a grease trap the building cannot take without work council cannot afford.
Your campaign could be on this page. Bring us the plan you already have and we'll turn it into something young people will actually finish.
