No progress to date

Measures of success

We brought issues raised by our community to meetings and briefings to request staff advice.

Progress to date / actions taken

Public attendance at Community Board meetings is encouraged by the Board and is regular. As formal meetings are now held monthly, a Public Participation session is held on the alternative fortnight prior to Community Board briefings. This has been attended at every session across the year except for the very first, where people were not aware of the possibility.

Measures of success

We engaged with our communities in-person and via social media.

Progress to date / actions taken

The new Community Board website provides a platform for much better engagement with the Community, and a comprehensive process for doing so will be pulled together and presented to the Community Board in the new year.

Measures of success

Additional ways to enable participatory democracy are put in place.

Progress to date / actions taken

Opportunities for additional ways to improve participatory democracy include:

• AFSCHA revised brief for Age Friendly Spreydon Cashmere Heathcote, focussing on the Community Board Plan
• A fun process for Community Board members to engage with the community at the Waltham Fair
• A more intentional process for Community Board attendance at community functions
• The FENZ workshops

Planning for further activity is underway.
