Our Community Engagement Framework
Community Engagement Framework
Community engagement is the planned process where Council works together with the community to help shape decisions or actions, achieve common goals, and foster relationships built on trust, goodwill and respect.
Derwent Valley Council is committed effective engagement with its community and stakeholders on issues that affect them.
Our Community Engagement Framework was adopted by Coucnil in November 2021, and provides a structure for the way in which we deliver community engagement activities and embrace community input to help inform Council decision making.
This framework will allow us to improve its community engagement practice. It provides a standard process for community engagement in projects to be delivered. This will assist with managing stakeholder expectations, and will lead to more informed decision making.
