Council’s newly drafted Community Engagement Policy will be considered at a Special Council Meeting on 23 February 2021.
The policy was drafted after significant input and feedback from the community.
Interim CEO, Bradley Thomas, said that he was really pleased with the amount of feedback received from the community on the Policy.
“We are one of very few councils who consulted the community before drafting the document. Community insight and feedback drove the drafting of this policy.
"More than 300 community members had their say on the policy at 10 pop-up sessions across the Shire and via an online survey. Community members were able to tell us what sort of engagement they prefer, through what avenues and how frequently.
“This policy will underpin how we approach future engagement and we believe it reflects community and Councillor sentiment.
“We look forward to Council considering the draft policy item on Tuesday night and encourage the community to view it and tune in to the Special Council Meeting which will be streamed live.” said Mr Thomas.
