What is Community Engagement?

Community engagement is all about involving the people of Gawler in decisions that affect them – whether at home, at work, or out enjoying our town.

Think of it as a conversation between Council and the community. Sometimes that’s as simple as sharing information and asking for your thoughts. Other times, it’s more hands-on, with Council working alongside residents to come up with solutions together.

Under the Local Government Act 2020, community engagement is a must for any Council project where decisions will impact or interest the Gawler community.


What Happens to your Feedback?

Comments, suggestions and ideas are gathered, reviewed and assessed by Council, and considered alongside technical, financial, legislative and risk management factors as an important part of Council’s decision-making process.
