In a bid to make the City of Manningham a more welcoming and inclusive community, the council is seeking out feedback from locals.
By embracing disability, ethnicity and culture, language, faith, gender, and sexual identity, the council is looking to grant disadvantaged individuals and families greater opportunities to participate both socially and economically. By doing so, it hopes to turn disadvantaged members of the community into the advantaged.
To achieve its mission, Manningham Council is proposing a draft strategy, which will focus and incorporate four key aspects:
1. Protecting and promoting human rights;
2. Enhancing workplace culture and leadership;
3. Offering the community equitable opportunities for social and economic inclusion;
4. Valuing diversity and creating a welcoming community.
Manningham Mayor Cr Andrew Conlon stated that feedback from the community would help finalise and improve the Strategy and Action Plan.
“It will help guide us on how we can be a more welcoming and inclusive community,” he said.
The draft Inclusive Manningham Strategy and Action Plan is open for public review and feedback until Monday 13 August, 5.00 pm. It can be accessed online at https://www.yoursaymanningham.com.au/inclusive-manningham-strategy, or alternatively visit your local Manningham Library or the Manningham Civic Centre.
