Community is at the heart of everything we do…
Partnerships with community are one of the best ways to achieve great onground outcomes for West Gippsland.
Our Community Engagement Network (CEN) is a board appointed forum that focuses on two-way information exchange between us and West Gippsland community members.
The CEN attend quarterly forums exploring all aspects of the work the CMA does, learning about projects, partnerships and operational works.
Its purpose is to:
- identify community needs and issues in natural resource management
- provide a community perspective into strategies and plans
- strengthen our profile and reputation in the community.
You can find out more about the Community Engagement Network by contacting Kelsey Tong, WGCMA Catchment and Community Project Officer on 5613 5995 or email kelseyt@wgcma.vic.gov.au.
