Have your say - Community Engagement Strategy
The Bathurst Regional Council Community Engagement Strategy is our commitment to quality consultation and actively involving our community in decision-making and information sharing.
This Strategy ensures that we approach all our engagement activities consistently, especially for projects that need community input. Our aim is to keep you well-informed about Council issues, strategies, projects, and plans, and to give you the chance to be part of the decision-making and policy development process.
Under the Local Government Act 1993 - Section 406 Integrated Planning and Reporting the IP & R framework (IP&R), Council is required to review its Community Engagement Strategy (CES) within three months of the election of the new Council.
Council is seeking the community's views on the draft Community Engagement Strategy.

Have your say - Ngurang Arts Residency (BARN)
Bathurst Regional Council is seeking community feedback on the Ngurang Arts Residency (BARN) project to inform future decision making on the facility.

Council is seeking broader community feedback on the project. Namely, to determine the level of local support, and the social and economic benefits the facility would bring to the community.
