The exhibition period for the draft Community Engagement Strategy and draft Community Participation Plan has now ended. Council thanks you for your contribution and feedback during the exhibition period.
Overview
The Community Engagement Strategy and accompanying Community Participation Plan detail Council's overarching engagement principles and notifications of planning functions for Council. The documents guide engagement practices with local community and stakeholders and deliver principles of community engagement in an inclusive, collaborative, transparent, authentic and timely manner to facilitate effective decision making.
Attached to the engagement strategy is Councils amended Community Participation plan. It involves minor administrative changes including the update of land use definitions to reflect the standard instrument, removal of requirement to notify applications in the local newspaper and a clause to allow discretion for additional notification requirements for applications considered to have significant community interest.
The Strategy is reviewed within three months of the local government elections to ensure it reflects both City and community sentiments in relation to community engagement practices and incorporates statutory requirements.
