Consultation and Engagement Framework

A key focus of the Greater Sydney Parklands Consultation and Engagement Framework is how we plan to listen to a variety of opinions, ideas and local knowledge, plus use data, to help inform our decision-making. It also identifies innovative ways we can reach a wide range of park users, ensuring everyone can participate in a fair and inclusive way.

We received community and stakeholder feedback on the Draft Framework from August to October 2022, and also received community trustee board feedback in January and February 2023.

The Consultation and Engagement Framework was finalised and submitted to the Minister for Infrastructure, Cities and Active Transport in February 2023. The Minister approved the Framework on 28 February 2023.
