Project is identified
Elected representatives or Council staff identify a project. For example renewing a park, review of an expiring policy or exploring a new opportunity. We often get ideas directly from our community too!
Our community is passionate about being part of the future of our area. In fact, there are almost 8,000 members on Collaborate, regularly providing feedback and participating in Council's decision making.
Collaborate Canada Bay is a dedicated place to learn about project we are discussing with the community, provide feedback and ideas, and follow projects to join Council along the journey from ideation to delivery.
With over 20,000 submissions received since Collaborate Canada Bay launched in 2019, we invite you to join the community of participating citizens.

Elected representatives or Council staff identify a project. For example renewing a park, review of an expiring policy or exploring a new opportunity. We often get ideas directly from our community too!
Council plans an engagement program - how can the community provide feedback? How, when and where can the community be engaged? Engagement information is prepared and distributed and the community provide input until a closing date. A report about what we heard is prepared and shared with Elected representatives and uploaded to the project page
Council staff report back on what we heard and provide the elected representatives with a recommendation. The elected Council will have a discussion at a Council meeting.
Depending on the project, Council officers may progress the project after informing Council.
Updates are shared with the community on Collaborate Canada Bay as a project is delivered.
The community is offered an array of options to engage with Council:
The City of Canada Bay is a local government area in Sydney. We acknowledge the Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, in particular the Wangal people of the Eora nation, as the first inhabitants of the nation and the traditional custodians of the lands where we live, learn and work.
