Shoalhaven Council has adopted a new Community Participation Plan 2025

At its Ordinary Meeting of 13 May 2025, Council resolved to adopt and finalise the updated Community Participation Plan (CPP) 2025, with minor amendments. View the Minutes (MIN25.236) here.

The CPP 2025 outlines how Council will engage with the community on matters relating specifically to land use planning and development. It applies the principles and approach of Council’s broader Community Engagement Strategy 2025-29. The CPP 2025 has been incorporated into this broader Strategy as Chapter 2, replacing Council’s initial CPP 2019. A copy of the updated Community Engagement Strategy 2025-29, incorporating the CPP 2025, can be found in the Document Library on this page.

The finalisation and publication of the CPP 2025 also rescinds Council’s Community Consultation Policy for Development Applications (Including Subdivision) (POL22/8).
