How we engage

The Shire is committed to providing opportunities for all members of the community to participate and contribute to local decision-making processes. We recognise that our community is a source of knowledge and expertise, and this is harnessed to help find solutions to local issues as well as complex shire challenges.

Community engagement is a key part of our commitment to be a transparent and responsive organisation. By bringing the voices of communities and stakeholders into the topics that are important to them, we lead a culture which respects and welcomes community input.

Our engagement policy is centred on:

  • The International Association for Public Participation (IAP2) framework which promotes five context dependant levels of engagement: Inform, Consult, Involve, Collaborate and Empower, and
  • Following principles of place-based approaches; including citizen-led, asset based and strength focused engagement responsive to diverse townsites.

The Shire’s engagement approach is guided by a series of principle statements. Read our full policy here or contact us at yoursay@amrshire.wa.gov.au for more information.
