Mayor Greg Cummings is inviting residents, ratepayers and visitors to have their say on how they want to be engaged during the development of Council’s future plans, policies and programs at one of three upcoming workshops.
“Best practice community engagement seeks input from participants in designing how they participate,” Mayor Cummings said.
“The purpose of these workshops is to gather information that will assist with the co-design of Cumberland Council’s first Community Engagement Strategy.
“Ultimately the goal is that Council’s plans, policies and programs better reflect the interests and concerns of the community, and that we promote sustainable decisions by recognising and communicating the needs and interests of all participants.
“If you want to help shape the future of Cumberland, please visit haveyoursay.cumberland.nsw.gov.au for more information on workshop times, locations and how to register.”
