About community engagement

Community engagement describes all the ways we talk with the community about plans that affect your future.

Community engagement leads to better decisions for our local government area. We seek to understand the various interests, values, needs and perspectives of the people our decisions affect and use this knowledge to improve our plans and policies.

Participatory decision-making creates a culture of shared responsibility and provides a forum for decision-makers and stakeholders to understand each other’s issues and viewpoints.

There are lots of ways you can get involved in engagement activities to learn more about what Council does, let us know your view and ideas and help make Wollongong a better place to live. We engage through in-person public consultation as well as digital engagement.

You will find information about how we carry out engagement at Council including our guiding policy, privacy information and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).

We invite you to sign up to get more involved.
