Community consultation

The City is committed to getting community input and sharing information on new projects, plans, services and initiatives. The City recognises that what is happening in your neighbourhood is important to you, and want to ensure you are given the opportunity to present your views.

The Community Consultation Policy outlines the City’s commitment to ethical, transparent and accountable community engagement.

When do we consult with the community?

The City is committed to consulting:

• Where community views may inform the development or improvements to a project, plan, service or initiative
• To identify community needs and perceptions
• To assist in decision-making
• When required by legislation or policy.

There are a number of ways that you can get involved, from attending a forum or workshop, to completing a questionnaire or taking part in an interview. The specific details on how to participate can be found within each proposal.
