Thank you for providing feedback on this project, consultation is now closed and we are reviewing what you told us.

We are reviewing our Community Engagement Policy and would like to hear your thoughts on how Council should undertake community consultations and how you would like to participate.

This Draft Community Engagement Policy is an overarching community engagement framework. It will guide Council on how we ask your views on a range of local priorities and the future of the community. Your views are important in informing Council decisions, projects, policies, plans and services.

This Draft Policy is informed by past community consultations and is in accordance with the new Local Government Act 2020 which is a principle based Act with Community Engagement as one of the five principles. The Act requires Council to adopt a community engagement policy on or before 1 March 2021.

The Draft Policy aligns with the Victorian Auditor General’s Officer Public Participation Principles and the International Association for Public Participation.

By providing your feedback, you will help shape the way Council makes decisions about things that matter to you in Brimbank.

Thank you for providing your feedback on this project, consultation is now closed. We are now reviewing all feedback and look forward to sharing the outcomes with you.
