City of Newcastle (CN) has reaffirmed its commitment to ensure all Novocastrians feel involved in the decision-making process as part of its new four-year Community Engagement Strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Councillors unanimously voted this week to adopt the Strategy, which provides a framework for how CN engages with the community to support the development of its plans, policies, programs and key activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Based on inclusiveness, transparency, and responsiveness, the new Strategy will continue to ensure CN delivers genuine, meaningful opportunities for everyone to share their voice and have a say, which in turn delivers better outcomes for the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A key focus of this Strategy is ensuring CN hears feedback from all groups within the community, and a diversity of opinions and voices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It outlines how community members can be involved in local planning and decision-making, as well as how CN will plan and deliver community engagement activities, including the tools and methods that may be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Strategy builds on CN’s current engagement activities, which during the 2022\/23 financial year included over 25,000 interactions with members of the community on more than 40 projects. Community input was used to develop a broad range of strategies and plans, events, infrastructure and capital works, facilities and services, parks and recreation, and transport initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
