What is Community Engagement?

Community engagement about Council working together with community. It’s our way of making sure you have a say in Council decisions, helping us build stronger local relationships and a better community for everyone.

We engage community in a variety of ways. These include

  • online platform, "Engage Whittlesea" where community can participate in all the projects open for engagement.
  • in-person opportunities at pop-up locations relevant to the project
  • in-person opportunities at drop in information sessions
  • in-person opportunities at registered events such as workshops or community meetings
  • deliberative opportunities in Focus Groups or Reference Groups
