Community engagement plays a vital role in shaping local outcomes and is an important way for us to gather valuable information to assist in better decision making. Driven by a comprehensive Community Engagement Strategy, Council undertook extensive engagement that was purposeful, timely, genuine, inclusive and transparent. Through extensive workshops, pop-up events, surveys and digital engagement practices, we could engage a large portion of our community in a collaborative and meaningful way. The Strategic Planning team were supported by Communications and Engagement, Customer Experience, Information Management Technology, and individuals from across Council who very generously volunteered their time to ensure our workshops and drop in events were successful.
