We work on many different projects and policies that affect children and young people in the shire.

We need your help to make sure we are engaging families, young people and children for the right things, in the right ways, at the right time.

We would like to understand how and in what way we can engage you to have a say about things that are important to you. This will help form our Children and Youth Engagement Guidelines, which will be used as an internal document alongside our Community Engagement Policy to identify when and how children, young people, their families and those that work with them (including infants) should be engaged by Council.

Macedon Ranges Shire Council is committed to protecting your privacy.

Where required, the personal information being collected will be provided to Macedon Ranges Shire Council staff or contractors, to help inform feedback and enable them to communicate with you in relation to the consultation where appropriate.
