While community engagement is a legislative requirement under the Local Government Act (2020), more importantly we want your feedback and ideas to influence the decision making at Council, and ensure your needs are reflected in project outcomes when possible.

The purpose of the Creating Cardinia on the move is to:

• Connect our team directly to you on a regular basis, to promote and raise awareness of current or upcoming projects you can have your say on
• Hear what you think we’re doing well in the engagement space, and what we can improve on
• Reach a greater diversity of community members to give everyone a voice on our projects
• Use your feedback to help advise Council project teams to have more meaningful engagement with our residents

The survey for the Policy consultation asks community members to have your say on what we’re doing well and where we can improve our community engagement approach. Consultation for the Community Engagement Policy only occurs every 4 years, so we have introduced Creating Cardinia on the move to have more regular consultations with you, to provide more opportunities to give your feedback.

This initiative will run 4 times per year in 2024, with pop up locations rotating around the shire. Pop up locations will be advertised on this page, as well as our communication channels such as social media, newspapers, digital adverts, signage/QR code posters around the shire and other media platforms. Follow this page for updates!
