Waikato District Council has adopted a Community Engagement Strategy.
The Council says that ‘Listening to you….our community engagement strategy’ has been under development since 2012 and is the result of a number of stakeholders telling us that they want more effective and more relevant ways to have input into Council’s decision-making. The Strategy was adopted by Council in March this year and is available online.
The Strategy outlines a plan of action that Council are undertaking to enable community views to be heard more clearly when people want to have a say about the things we are doing. This strategy has been under development since 2012 and is the result of ratepayers telling the Council that they wanted more effective and more relevant ways to have input into Council’s decision-making. The Community Engagement Strategy has a life of three years after which the Waikato District Council will review it, with further community input and feedback welcome, to see if they are on the right track.
