Appendix Community Engagement What we asked you Has there been a change in the community's awareness of the Newcastle 2030 Community Strategic Plan? Are the core values in the existing CSP still relevant and do they represent the values of the Newcastle community? Is the current Vision Statement appropriate or does it need to be modified? What are the strengths of Newcastle and its people? What does the community think are the challenges facing Newcastle? Are the current strategic directions appropriate or do they need to be modified? What does the community think are the opportunities for Newcastle? What are the community's priorities for services and projects? How we engaged with you Online Engagement hub, Ideas Wall, Budget Simulator and surveys. Face to face At community workshops in Merewether, Wallsend, Jesmond and Newcastle. Activities at Council displays at events including NAIDOC week, Hunter Homeless Connect Day, Wallsend Winter Fair, Tarro playground opening and YesFest. On paper Through hard copy surveys. Competition cards at workshops and library information hubs across the LGA. Editors Notes: The estimated number of community members involved during engagement is 2700 people. It is not possible to ascertain the exact numbers of people that contributed to this project, as people may have contributed to multiple activities and for some activities (e.g. Ideas Walls) people may have contributed multiple times. Stakeholders for the purpose of this project were not limited to residents and ratepayers of Newcastle. Participation from people that lived outside the LGA was supported.
