The Local Environment Strategy (LES) had been in development since 2017, starting off with a visioning workshop. In May 2018, the City underwent preliminary consultation with the community and staff which included media releases, surveys, and community visioning workshops. At the 26 February 2019 Ordinary Council Meeting Council endorsed the draft LES for community engagement.

Engagement Activities & Promotion

The draft LES was promoted through a number of community pop-ups, workshops and an integrated marketing campaign promoted on the City's social media platforms and in community newspapers. Extensive external consultation has occurred throughout.
