The Community Plan Development Guide gives a step by step guide to what a community plan is, how to undertake the planning process and additional tips and resources that may assist.
The Community Plan Development Guide "Snapshot" is a quick read overview summary of the key points in the development guide and it forms the Executive Summary of the guide.
The Community Engagement Policy Development Guide gives a step by step guide and template for the development of a Community Engagement Policy- what to include, the purpose, intent and processes of community engagement. The Policy sets the direction for how a council will engage with the community on a day to day basis and in the development of the Community Plan.
A suite of LGOnline resources have also been developed and will continue to be developed, to provide more detail and further assist councils to meet the legislative requirements - examples of other policies and plans, how the community plan fits with other council plans including the corporate plan, useful tips and learnings. LGAQ is also getting a number of council staff who have volunteered to mentor and advise other councils as they plan and progress the community plan.
