We are working with our community to develop our Championing Diversity – Multicultural Inclusion Plan.

The plan will outline how we can work together to make the Northern Beaches a more welcoming and inclusive place for people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.

We have been speaking with our community members from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds to understand your experiences on the Northern Beaches and what contributes to a sense of connection and belonging. Thank you to everyone who has shared feedback with us so far.

We want to know what's important to our diverse multicultural communities and how we can best support, empower and advocate alongside you.

Once we have drafted the Multicultural Inclusion Plan, we will ask you for your feedback to make sure we got it right.

During the initial consultation, there were different ways to get involved:

• Workshop in a Box
  • We provided resources and encouraged you to host a workshop with members of your community, friends or family to gather information we need to produce our plan. Workshop in a Box feedback closed on Sunday 7 May 2023.
• Pop-up session
  • We popped up in various locations and invited you to come chat with us about the project and give your feedback in person.
• Council-hosted workshop
  • If you are from a culturally and linguistically diverse background, we invited you to share your experiences at one of our Council-hosted workshops.

The project team is currently reviewing all of the feedback provided during these sessions.
