Community Engagement Strategy

Draft Community Engagement Strategy

A draft Community Engagement Strategy was approved in April 2024.

The draft illustrates a new approach to setting strategic principles, utilising a 'living' document that lives within our digital platform to allow it to be easily reviewed and responsive to feedback.

It sets out actions to better support communities through iterative improvements in the way we engage.

The content of the strategy has been shaped by workshops with communities, staff and partners in 2022, along with feedback we have received over the intervening period through other engagement methods, including:

  • Community Conversations
  • Place Making
  • Related consultations, such as the Council Plan and budget engagement

We encourage you to provide feedback on the current draft, which will be fed into an annual review programme to allow for content to be updated against outcomes and developments in the strategy's delivery.
