Community Consultation Summary
Community consultations took place throughout
February 2007. A variety of community consultation
methods were used including:
The consultation process was designed to develop
an understanding of these issues within the
Warringah community.
Developing Strategies
• A cultural mapping exercise at three locations in
Warringah
• Three community workshops
• An online survey
Once the data from these consultations was
collected and analysed, a summary of issues was
presented to Council’s internal Project Team to
develop strategies and actions.
As a result, approximately 770 residents made their
contribution to the Plan.
Throughout the consultation process residents were
asked ‘values’ based questions specifically developed
to gauge what the community sees as important,
what they like and dislike about living in Warringah
and the things that make Warringah special or
unique.
A presentation of the suggested strategies and
actions was held for community members who
participated in earlier workshops to assist in the
development of priorities for the Cultural Plan.
The three key concepts commonly acknowledged as
important when examining the role of culture within
communities are:
1. Cultural vitality
2. Identity and belonging
3. Social cohesion and community engagement
