A new Community Engagement Strategy

Kempsey Shire Council has adopted our next generation Community Engagement Strategy based on feedback from all our stakeholders.

This strategy outlines our commitment to effective and inclusive decision making. It respects the role of community to have a say.

Council has also adopted our first Community Participation Plan which outlines the specific ways that community members can learn about and participate in Council decision making, including specifically participating in Strategic Planning and Development Assessment.

Both documents are built on the philosophy that better decisions are made when we all have quality information and when all points of view can be heard.
