Community Engagement Strategy (including Community Participation Plan)

The Community Engagement Strategy (the Strategy) will help you understand when and how you can influence Cessnock City Council’s decision making. The Strategy outlines Council’s commitment to community engagement and sets a strategic direction that aims to increase opportunities for genuine participation.

The Strategy includes the Community Participation Plan (CPP). The intent of the CPP plan is to make it easier for the community to understand how to get involved in planning matters. It provides guidance on how the community can have a say on the different types of planning documents and planning outcomes.
