Community engagement 

Over 1,260 community members contributed their insights through a comprehensive consultation process. This included a public survey, targeted discussions with key stakeholder groups, six in-depth engagement sessions with a deliberative community panel of 37 residents, workshops with Councillors, and internal staff consultations.
