Consultation has concluded

The development of a Stakeholder and Community Engagement Policy Framework for the amalgamated Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council (QPRC) is a critical first in outlining Council’s commitment and intent in how it will engage with its communities.

The Stakeholder and Community Engagement Policy Framework articulates Council’s commitment to its communities and provides the community with engagement principles that underpin and drive Council’s engagement practices and actions.

The framework applies to all forms of engagement by councillors and officers, and those external parties such as consultancies representing Council. Its implementation through the community engagement plan and supported by the toolkit includes:

  • the planning, delivery and evaluation of any community engagement activity
  • engagement with the community regarding issues, proposals and Council decisions such as projects, strategic plans, programs or service delivery
  • engagement with key groups in the community
  • regular engagement activities and responsibilities.

Council will also be developing a Community Engagement Plan and Toolkit to work alongside this Policy Framework
