Consultation has concluded

At Port Macquarie-Hastings Council’s Ordinary Council Meeting held on 21 April 2022, Council resolved to place the Draft Community Inclusion Plan on exhibition for a period of 28 days.

Council values and respects our diverse community and recognise that we have a role in promoting and facilitating active community participation and working with other levels of government and community organisations to help reduce disadvantage, strengthen community well-being and celebrate diversity in our community.

To help do this, we have created this draft Community Inclusion Plan (CIP), which sets out Council’s objectives, and proposed plan of action to help develop a socially just, resilient, connected, inclusive, liveable and engaged community - a community that respects the rights of all people and encourages self-determination and equity.

The CIP has 5 key strategic outcome areas:

  • A CONNECTED Community: Encourage and provide opportunities for members of the community to participate in activities to improve their quality of life.
  • An ACCEPTING community: Support opportunities which enhance social cohesion through connecting people from diverse backgrounds, building unity and reducing inequity.
  • A LIVEABLE Community: Create a community that has accessible facilities, and offers opportunities for everyone to participate in activities.
  • A RESILIENT Community: Create a resilient community by enabling them to respond to, withstand, and recover from adverse situations.
  • A Community LEADER: Lead the way in fostering a better awareness of the lived experiences of people from various cultures, backgrounds and abilities.
