13. How well are we doing?
13.1. The Government recommends assessing resources for managing community involvement. Involving the community during all planning processes has time, staff resource and funding implications and must be a key consideration when planning any form of engagement or consultation.
13.2. Therefore, whilst Waverley is committed to providing a high-level service to the community making sure everyone has the opportunity to be involved in the planning process, the Council will look to achieve this in the most resource efficient way. Therefore, any approach used when engaging with stakeholders will reflect the type of work being undertaken. Any non-statutory approaches used during engagement or consultation activities will also be reviewed to assess whether such an approach was effective and achieved value for money.
