The Scenic Rim Community Engagement Strategy 2021-2026 guides the way Council designs and manages interaction with its community. It outlines the principles and mechanisms that should be considered when developing a community engagement strategy and activity plans. It also includes a framework for engagement, which is underpinned by Council’s Community Engagement Policy.
Scenic Rim Regional Council represents the interests of a diverse and aspirational community of 43,575 people. The area’s thriving economy is built around agriculture/horticulture, the equine industry and tourism/ecotourism. As a lifestyle destination, it is renowned for its strong community spirit, vibrant arts and cultural scene and outstanding natural environment.
Since the Scenic Rim Regional Council was formed in 2008, Council has been working to bring its network of villages together into one cohesive and united community. This Community Engagement Strategy is a core element in Council’s ongoing quest to strengthen confidence, trust and unity across its diverse community as it deals with the complex challenges of future growth and change.
We believe the mutual awareness and understanding that comes from effective community engagement underpins the confidence our community has in our decisions and protects and retains Council’s social licence to operate.
Council Policy
The Community Engagement Strategy is underpinned by Council’s Community Engagement Policy. This describes our commitment and intent when it comes to interacting with our community in an open, transparent and collaborative way and ensures that Council decisions benefit from community input; that we continually improve and seek feedback on our community engagement practices; and that we comply with all legislative requirements.
We recognise and value effective community engagement because it ensures Council partners with our community to enhance our lifestyles by delivering quality services, well managed growth, sound environmental outcomes, responsible business management and committed leadership. It is a core driver across the seven themes that shape our corporate strategy.
Community engagement is built on mutual respect. Effective community engagement does not necessarily mean that there will be agreement, or that every aspect of Council’s activities is open to comment or control. Council is ultimately responsible for making decisions that are in accordance with legislative requirements and which it believes best represent the current and future interests of residents.
