Community Engagement Policy Review

We’re reviewing our Community Engagement Policy and we want your input.

Community engagement is how we hear from our community, making it essential to how we make decisions and good governance for Manningham.

We’re committed to listening and understanding our community and want to make sure you have opportunities to input into decisions and have your say on what’s important to you locally.

Background

We have a Community Engagement Policy that guides how we seek your feedback on our strategic plans, infrastructure projects, programs, new initiatives and more.

We want to ensure that you, our community, are involved in decisions that affect you.

We do this through a clear, inclusive, and respectful processes. Guided by the Local Government Act 2020 and the International Association of Public Participation’s (IAP2) spectrum of engagement, we seek community input to inform our decisions, support transparency and meet community needs.

Our current Community Engagement Policy was endorsed in 2021, and we’re now reviewing the policy to make sure it continues to meet the needs of our community.
