During the past 12 months we asked the community for their views on 195 projects via our online ‘Have Your Say’ page.
Our Council is committed to making decisions that reflect the views and values of the people they represent.
Key to achieving this is authentic community engagement – a process that involves asking the community for their views on issues that might affect impact or interest them.
We seek input on all major strategies plans and projects through a range of methods – both face-to-face and online.
Here are some examples of how your feedback has helped shape two key projects both funded by the City in partnership with the Victorian Government:
Chilwell Library redevelopment
We’re working closely with the Geelong Regional Library Corporation and the Chilwell Library Group to redevelop this important community venue with funding contributions from the Council and the Victorian Government.
More than 1 127 people provided their input on a preliminary concept design including a lot of feedback about the desire to connect the library with the park provide a warm and welcoming feel reflect the local heritage and embed accessibility flexibility and environmental sustainability.
The community also requested improved way-finding signage to direct residents to the library.
We’re now using your insights in the next stage of design with the community to be given another opportunity to have its say later in2022.
Waurn Ponds Skate Park upgrade
We sought feedback on our initial concept plan in June 2021.
We incorporated community feedback by modifying the park to cater for a wider range of riding disciplines and skill levels.
We also added new features including a new street drain area a new snake-run bowl and an improved street plaza and youth active recreation area.
Construction is scheduled to begin soon.
