Community Engagement Strategy 2022 - 2032

Encouraging and promoting an actively engaged community is essential to creating the Singleton people want now, as well as into the future, based on truly collaborative decision-making that reflects a shared vision and desires. Recognising the diversity of knowledge, experiences and views of our residents, businesspeople, investors and visitors, we can all play an important role in shaping the ongoing evolution of our local government area as sustainable, resilient and perhaps most importantly, connected.

The Create Singleton Community Engagement Strategy sets the framework for the engagement function of Singleton Council, outlining our proactive approach to ensuring all stakeholders can have meaningful involvement that is inclusive, respectful, relevant, and timely.

Based on social justice principles – equity, access, participation and rights – it makes Council accountable for designing and implementing community engagement activities that are inclusive, respectful, relevant, and timely.

It is our bond that people know what they can expect from us and most of all, that we can be trusted to keep them informed, seek their views and listen to their feedback.

Prepared in accordance with Section 402 of the Local Government Act 1993, which supports an integrated approach to community engagement planning, this Strategy is our commitment to how and when there is opportunity to influence decision making, and to ensure everyone has equal opportunity to create the Singleton we’re proud to be part of now, and in the future.
