Engage Me Framework

The principles of the 'Engage Me' community engagement systemCouncil's engagement framework, 'Engage Me' provides direction, strategy, plans and resources to ensure a consistent approach to engaging and communicating with the people that live, learn, do business and visit Wyong Shire.

Principles

Used when planning, conducting and taking part in community consultation, our principles promise to:

  • Listen to the needs and aspirations of the community
  • Understand the opinions, views, issues and interests and be consistent in the approach to engagement.
  • Respect the barriers, values and rights of each individual and be open and clear about what you are asking.
  • Respond, be genuine, consider and value the input and close the loop with feedback.
  • Learn from each other, value strengths and build relationships with trust and integrity.

Engage Me Framework

We will engage with you in a variety of ways, from information to collaborating. We will do this by:

Inform - to provide information, educate or give advice to the community to let you know what happened or why we are  doing something.

Connect - to seek feedback about attitudes, opinions and preferences that will help Council make decisions.

Engage - to partner and collaborate with the community on issues affecting the Wyong Shire area.

To receive additional information or provide feedback on the engagement framework,  contact the Community Engagement team on (02) 4350 5555, or by email.
