Our City

Community Engagement

Glenorchy City Council is committed to both listening to and informing our community.

We engage through a range of channels throughout the year — and we keep residents up to date through our website, social media, local media like the Glenorchy Gazette, and posters and flyers across the community.

We value the ideas, experiences and feedback of residents, businesses and community organisations.

Community engagement helps Council make informed decisions and ensures local voices are considered in planning, projects, policies and services that affect the community.

Council is committed to open, transparent and inclusive engagement processes that encourage participation from people of all backgrounds, ages and abilities.

How we engage

Council uses a range of methods to involve the community in decisions and projects across Glenorchy.

Engagement activities may include:

Public consultations on major projects, plans and policies
Surveys and questionnaires
Community workshops and information sessions
Drop-in sessions and pop-up events
Online engagement opportunities through Let’s Talk Glenorchy
Feedback on strategic plans and Council initiatives
Public representations and submissions on planning matters
Community input into annual budgets and long-term plans

The type of engagement used may vary depending on the project, community interest and legislative requirements.
