Help us increase opportunities for genuine, meaningful and informed participation.

Strathbogie Shire Council has been working hard on improving its community engagement.

Our goal is to strengthen community representation in our decision making. We know that we make better decisions when we’re working with our community.

One of the next projects will be the development of a new Community Engagement Strategy, when the current strategy concludes in 2022.

Also on the engagement improvement list is the establishment of a Community Panel, which will modernise our engagement approach and ensure very best practice.

We want to increase opportunities for genuine, meaningful and informed participation.

We’re keen to hear from you on how we can do better. We know we don’t always get it right.

Council wants to have positive and proactive conversations with our community.
We want to see projects, plans and strategies progressing quickly and meeting the needs of our community.
We want to see modern engagement methods, that make it easy for people to find out information and have their say and reach a broad audience.
We want to be able to work through problems together, to feel we can be brave and share these problems with our community.
We want to develop awesome solutions together. So… we’re asking our community to help us do this.

Council is listening. We want to work together. We need your help!

Applications will close on February 24, 2023.
