Community engagement
Community engagement and consultation is at the heart of what we do. It’s important for us to understand how you feel and what you think about the projects and initiatives we undertake. We incorporate community and stakeholder engagement into every project and strategy that we propose or undertake.
How do we engage with the community?
- Listening: We gather feedback through surveys, community events and workshops
- Partnering: We collaborate with local groups and leaders to design meaningful initiatives
- Communicating: We share updates through our GC Have Your Say website, social media and newsletters as well as at in-person events
- Including everyone: We ensure diverse voices are heard and valued
By working with the community, not just for it, we aim to create lasting, positive change together.
In 2024, around 20,000 survey responses were collected. We are continuing to improve and broaden our community consultation efforts and we want you to be involved. We have a dedicated community engagement team who are qualified in IAP2 (International Association for Public Participation), the gold standard of engagement practices.
