Community Engagement in Government

Local, state, provincial and federal governments around the world are getting more people involved in planning projects, city development and community consultations through online engagement. Bringing the conversation online, government organisations can broaden their audience for a more complete sampling of public opinion. By empowering residents with an easy and secure way to participate online, organisations build community capacity and improve democracy as a whole.

“It was important to take the organisation on a journey of reconnecting with our community and being more reflective of our community.”
– Mayor Steve Chadwick JP, Rotorua Lakes Council
