Meaningful community engagement is at the heart of everything we do. It ensures the community’s voice shapes the future of Muswellbrook Shire and guides Council’s vision and decisions.

The Community Engagement and Participation Plan brings together all Council’s engagement activities into one clear plan. It supports the development of important plans, policies, and programs—including those in the Integrated Planning and Reporting process and other legislative requirements.

While elected Councillors and the General Manager make the final decisions, this strategy helps Council make well-informed, sustainable choices that reflect the community’s views and have your support.
