What's happening
We want your help to shape the way we engage in the Adelaide Hills!
We are developing a Community Engagement Framework that will guide the way we undertake community engagement activities and we'd like you to help us to understand what's most important to feature in this framework.
What does good community engagement look like to you? What level of involvement would you like to have in Council decision-making?
Community Engagement Framework Objectives
Through the creation and implementation of the Community Engagement Framework, we aim to:
