Revised Community Engagement Strategy
Consultation has concluded
At its meeting on Monday 3 April, Council endorsed a draft revised Community Engagement Strategy - Council Policy to be placed on public exhibition.
Council’s Community Engagement Strategy - Council Policy, enables an informed and consistent approach to involving our community in decision-making. The revised policy outlines Council’s principles, commitments, levels and process for engagement to guide Council’s elected members, staff and consultants when engaging with our community. It has been updated to align with current Integrated Planning and Reporting requirements.
Council is committed to involving our community in the decision-making processes. The Community Engagement Strategy - Council Policy is a resource to enable a consistent approach to undertaking meaningful and effective community engagement. Through seeking feedback and engaging our community to join the conversation with Council, we will enable better decision-making, strengthen our community and build trust. We’ll use community feedback to refine the draft policy. The final Policy will enable Council to continue to deliver engagement activities for our community to the highest standard, reflecting best practice across the state.
