7.3: Community Engagement

Ensure all Canberrans have a voice and participate in the Territory’s democratic processes.

Other Information:

Effective community engagement will build a strong, cohesive relationship between Canberrans and their government. The ACT Government aims to ensure all Canberrans have a voice and participate in the Territory’s democratic processes. We will implement a range of measures to further enhance community engagement and continue to provide opportunities for the community to participate in decisions. Recognising the growth of e-democracy nationally and internationally, we will examine options for encouraging Canberrans to get involved in decision-making and the governance of the Territory through accessible online engagement. The launch of The Canberra Plan: Towards Our Second Century marks a new phase of community engagement, which will be supported by a dedicated website to promote feedback and to notify the community about future forums, focus groups and discussion papers.
