Community engagement is at the heart of local government. It helps communities to be active participants in shaping their own future and play a part in positive changes. Council has a vital role to play in providing opportunities for people to be involved in creating good public policy and ensuring relevant, quality services.
Penrith City Council is currently reviewing the Community Engagement Strategy and Community Participation Plan 2024-28, formalising our commitment to better decision making through meaningful engagement.
In these documents, you can read about our guiding principles and methodology to understand what engagement looks like at Penrith City Council.
This is our promise to all Penrith community and stakeholders, to be involved in shaping the future of our City.
