Blacktown City Council is inviting residents and businesses
to have their say on the best way for Council to
communicate and engage with the community.
Blacktown City Mayor Stephen Bali MP said: “Council is
transforming Blacktown into a diverse, dynamic and
progressive ‘City of Excellence’ and it is vital that we have
the best policies and strategies in place to engage the
community in this exciting journey.
“It is also of vital importance that the community can have a
say in the planning and development approval process.
“Council currently engages with the community in a number
of ways including newsletters, community forums, Council’s
website, social media and local advertising.
“Council is determined to make sure our engagement and
communications with the community is of the highest
standard,” Mayor Bali said.
Blacktown City Council has developed a new set of
Community Engagement policies and plans and is inviting
feedback from residents, community groups and local
businesses.
Council is inviting public comment on the following
documents:
· Draft Community Engagement Policy – Council
will engage with local communities and key stakeholders to understand their needs and aspirations and to ensure Council’s plans, programs and services reflect these effectively.
· Draft Community Engagement Strategy - an outline of Council’s community engagement standards, principles and processes that ensure engagement is inclusive, considered and effective.
· Draft Community Participation Plan for planning and development - includes information about how and when Council engages with the community on planning and development related issues.
These documents are on public display until 22 August
2019.
