2022-07-12 - S&O Agenda - Item 3 - Attachment 1 - Governance Framework Report

  Additionally, Council’s Community Engagement Framework (under review)
  further defines community engagement in the Noosa Shire local government
  context and explains key protocols, techniques and step -by-step process. To
  support the Framework and provide guidance to elected members and
  employees, Council has implemented a Community Engagement Toolkit which is
  a manual that provides assistance in the planning, undertaking and evaluation of
  community engagement activities. The Policy, Framework and Toolkit are
  regularly updated to remain consistent with community engagement best
  practice. Where possible, Council seeks to move to the right of the IAP2 spectrum
  to encourage greater community engagement.

  Some examples of when Council uses community engagement include:
   • Annual budget
   • Major projects / proposals
   • Local laws
   • Proposed changes to Noosa planning scheme
   • Strategic planning

  Stakeholder management

  Similarly, strong stakeholder relationships are critical to the successful delivery of
  Council’s objectives through various projects and activities which require careful
  and ongoing management. Council’s approach to stakeholder management is to
  essentially enhance and maximise the benefits of regular stakeholder
  engagement by managing key relationships.
