Consultation has concluded

Council consulting community members at Beardy Street Markets in the Mall.

At the Ordinary Council Meeting held on 26 May 2021, Council resolved to place the Community Engagement Policy on public exhibition commencing Friday 28 May 2021 and ending on Monday 28 June 2021.

This policy will establish clear direction and inform guidance for community consultation and Council decision making in order to achieve Council’s strategic goals and the community needs.

This is an existing policy and the recommended update provides additional good governance for Council.

This may be as a result of a report to a Council meeting or as part of an application under the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009. Also, under State legislation, any person making a submission on a Draft LEP amendment must also disclose whether they or an ‘associate’ have made a ‘reportable political donation’ or gift to a local Councillor or Council employee within the period commencing two years before any submission is made and ending when the Draft LEP is determined.
