The requirements for Integrated Planning & Reporting (IP&R) are set out in the Local Government Act 1993 (the Act) and the Local Government (General) Regulation 2021 (the Regulation). As part of the IP&R, the Community Engagement Strategy is required under the Act to be reviewed within three months of the Local Government elections as part of a broader review of the Community Strategic Plan.
The Community Engagement Strategy outlines the Council’s approach for effective and meaningful engagement with their local community prior to the development and commencement of the Community Strategic Planning Process.
A review of the Community Engagement Strategy has been undertaken and as a result the draft Community Engagement Strategy can be viewed below.
View the Draft Community Engagement Strategy for a period of 28 days from 24 March until 5pm 21 April 2025.
Council will receive submissions until 5pm 21 April 2025.
