One of Central Coast Council's core responsibilities is to create an ongoing dialogue with our community, and engage on a range of Council projects, initiatives, policies, strategies and plans to ensure a balanced and collaborative decision-making process between the community and Council is achieved. We do this in line with our Engagement Framework and Community Participation Plan.
We have made available this annual Engagement Plan that forecasts community engagement activities so you can understand ahead of time what Council will engage on and when.
We update this information quarterly to provide transparency on what Council will engage on and when. There may be instances where planned activities change, or additional engagement activities arise that were not determined at the time of presenting this forward plan.

Stay connected and help shape our future together
We will regularly communicate and promote engagement activities through e-newsletters, media interviews, advertising, social media, printed pamphlets and letterbox drops. Additionally, Council reports back to the community about engagement activities through publicising, emailing participants directly and publishing consultation summaries and reports on this website, and providing consultation reports to the Council as part of Council Meeting Agenda items.
