Community Involvement This section of the Plan outlines Council’s intentions in involving the community in decision-making during the development of schemes. Community consultation is not only highly desirable in terms of major capital works, but there are requirements under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act and the Local Government Act, which need to be satisfied. The aims of community consultation are to: • Develop ownership of the service delivery issues by the community, and to gain agreement that action is required; • Ensure that the concerns of the community, particularly social and environmental concerns, are taken into account; • Allow the community to propose options it wants evaluated and ensure that the costs associated with decisions are acceptable; and • Demonstrate to the community that Council is making the best decisions after proper evaluation of all the issues. Methods used by Council to consult the community in the past include: • Public meetings and village tours; • Customer Surveys; • Public forum at Council meetings; • Public display of planning documents; Development of the Local Environmental Plan, new water supplies and reservoirs and new sewage treatment works all benefit from direct involvement of the community. Periods of public display, public comment and notices to ratepayers and business groups to advertise the opportunity to comment are typical. Following issues need to be considered when undertaking community consultation: • Members of community who are not directly affected by a project may also have concerns; • There must be a balance between due process and risks in order that a satisfactory level of progress can be maintained; • While community consultation on projects is highly desirable, it can be a lengthy process and project lead times need to be programmed to take account of this. While community consultation on projects is necessary and highly desirable, it can be a lengthy process and project lead times need to be programmed to take account of this.

In future, Council intends to maintain the existing methods of consultation for all major capital works or decisions. Proposed sewerage supply works that would benefit from community consultation include: • New sewerage schemes to villages of Charbon and Clandulla • Implementation of best practice sewerage pricing, liquid trade waste policy and pricing, developer charges and IWCM strategies The process of consultation can be started by the General Manager and utilise various methods for obtaining community views. These can then be analysed by officers so that Council can resolve to endorse or amend the project brief.
