Community engagement is an important process that allows communities to have their say on decisions that affect their lives. It is a crucial input into good decision making and as the arm of government closest to the people, we have an important role to ensure community engagement is genuine, transparent and appropriate.
The Local Government Act 2020 requires that councils must adopt a Community Engagement Policy.
Wyndham City’s Community Engagement Policy 2025-29 sets out our expectations and principles for community engagement. Our policy guides best practice community engagement processes and outcomes through consistent and transparent approaches.
