From this week, 8,000 randomly selected households across Manningham will receive an invitation to express their interest in participating in the Manningham Community Panel.
From those who apply, independent non-profit research group, newDemocracy, will draw a panel of 40 people to represent the wider community.
How will it work?
The Manningham Community Panel will play a crucial role in developing our major strategic plans.
Through externally facilitated discussions and learning sessions, participants will help determine key priorities for Manningham and provide a list of recommendations to:
inform the next Council Plan, Asset Plan and Financial Plan
help us refresh of our community vision
define and help us manage the community's top service priorities
help guide how we manage our services financially
guide how we manage and invest in physical assets.
Panel sessions will be held between September 2024 and February 2025.
Are there other ways to participate in this engagement if I'm not selected for the panel?
There will be further opportunities to make individual submissions for the panel's consideration, as well as observe the deliberation sessions.
