We are seeking your feedback on our Draft Community Engagement Policy.

The Draft Policy outlines the legislative requirements Council must meet when engaging with the community on decisions that may affect them.

The policy has been prepared to meet new requirements under Section 50A of the Local Government Act and the Community Engagement Charter.

The Charter replaces previous consultation requirements in the Local Government Act and establishes a consistent statewide approach to community engagement across local government.

This Community Engagement Policy sets how Council engages with the community. While the policy reflects Council's legislative requirements regarding community engagement, your feedback can help shape how:

  • We communicate about engagement projects
  • Community feedback is provided, considered and shared
  • Engagement can be more inclusive and accessible.

Read the Draft Policy and complete the survey at Your Say Unley.

Survey closes 11.59pm, Thursday 16 July.
