A the September 2022 Council Meeting, Council adopted our new Community Engagement Strategy and updated Community Engagement Policy for the City of Canada Bay.
Council is committed to undertaking meaningful engagement with community and stakeholders and understands that effective community engagement requires an informed and representative group of participants, time for deliberation, and consensus on recommendations on the decision or project.
Council's Community Engagement Strategy details this approach including the guiding values and principles for engagement; levels of engagement which are aligned with the International Association for Public Participation (IAP2) Spectrum; and the methods of engagement.
Project Background
The City of Canada Bay, under the Local Government Act 1993, is required to have a community engagement strategy based upon social justice principles. The strategy provides a roadmap for creating and maintaining good relationships and effective engagement with our community and key stakeholders.
