Draft Community Engagement Strategy

Consultation has concluded

community consultation

At Council we are committed to putting our Sutherland Shire community at the heart of everything we do; listening to your feedback and considering your views to help shape our community, environment, culture and future. We have drafted our Community Engagement Strategy 2022-26, which provides a framework for open and clear engagement and to inform decision-making processes.

The draft Strategy outlines:
