Thank you to those that took time to participate in this consultation process.

The Willoughby Community Participation Plan Oct 2019 incorporated feedback received during the public exhibition and was endorsed by Council on Monday 11 November 2019. The community feedback report can be found in the Supporting Documents section on this page.

The Willoughby Community Participation Plan Oct 2019 outlines how and when our communities can provide input on council land use planning processes.

This plan will take effect upon being published on the planning portal by 1st December 2019.

The community were invited to view and comment on Willoughby City Council’s draft Community Participation Plan (CPP) and minor amendment to the Community Engagement Policy (to accommodate the CPP changes) before midnight Monday 7 October 2019.

Background

Our communities have a unique relationship with, and understanding of, the Willoughby local area. Their range of experiences, interests and roles are essential in shaping the planning and land use decisions that affect our city and its neighbourhoods.

We want to ensure all these individuals and groups have the opportunity to have a say on the decisions in our area that affect them.

The draft plan and policy was on exhibition from Monday 9 September 2019 and also available to be viewed at Level 4, 31 Victor Street Chatswood or the Chatswood Library. Written submissions should be addressed to the General Manager, PO Box 57, Chatswood NSW 2057 or email to email@willoughby.nsw.gov.au

This Plan supports the commitments in our community strategic plan, Our Future Willoughby 2028. This includes commitments in outcome 5 – A city that is accountable.

Please note: Comments will be included in publications or reports at the end of the consultation. Personal information will not be included.
