Draft Communication and Engagement Strategy now on public exhibition

Strong communication and engagement channels between Council and residents are fundamental in supporting the delivery of services and projects that make the Hawkesbury a great place to live, work and play, while informing, empowering and connecting our diverse and dynamic community.

This vision lies at the heart of our Draft Communication and Engagement Strategy 2024-2028, which is now on public exhibition. It seeks to build on the work which has been done to communicate and engage with the community and identifies opportunities, challenges and actions to improve Council's practices.

The community is invited to review the Strategy and provide their feedback and insights by Monday, 14 July 2024.

Community engagement was integral to the development of the Draft Communication and Engagement Strategy 2024-2028 and Council implemented an engagement program with more than 600 people between October 2023 and May 2024.

The engagement activities included reviewing the results from the Community Satisfaction Survey, conducting a range of targeted community surveys, focus group workshops and face to face discussions with the Aboriginal community and Councillors.

Nominations open for the Natalie Burton Memorial Award

Do you know a high school student who has shown great strength by overcoming adversity? Now is your chance to nominate them for the Natalie Burton Memorial Award.

Hawkesbury City Council has called for nominations for the annual Natalie Burton Memorial Award on behalf of the Burton, Turner and Lawrance families. Community members are encouraged to nominate any high school student from a high school in the Hawkesbury area whom they feel could be awarded with the prestigious Natalie Burton Memorial Award and $200 prize money.

The award is intended for a recipient who has faced a challenging circumstance and, despite this adversity, has still succeeded through their personal application and determination. This could be a disability, illness or a serious accident, the loss of a family member or other situations that sometimes present in life.

The award is open to male or female students and is not restricted to academic achievement; it may take the form of community, sporting or general achievements and improvements.

Natalie Burton was a remarkable individual who died from cancer in March 2003 at the age of 32. Natalie was herself an exceptional student who accomplished a great deal during her life. This award aims to see Natalie’s life and her extraordinary achievements inspire local students to overcome adversity in their own lives to still achieve.
