Council's Consultation Policy

Council adopted its own Consultation Policy called 'People and Participation' in December 1999, as well as a set of internal guidelines for community consultation. The Consultation Policy describes when and how Council will seek feedback from the public before making decisions.

Council most recently reviewed the Consultation Policy in 2005. A number of issues were identified and recommendations for improvements to the policy and current practice made. As a result, the policy and guidelines are in the process of being updated.
