The feedback and information gathered will influence the development of a Neighbourhood Plan for Kensington. This is an opportunity for all neighbourhood stakeholders - residents, business owners, workers, visitors, community group, service providers and Council staff - to learn about one another and share ideas to build a more inclusive, sustainable and empowered community.

Our hope is that Participate Kensington becomes a tool that will:

• Help to build further connection to place by celebrating Kensington’s unique character, history and people.
• Increase social value in the neighbourhood by providing pathways for community development and connection.
• Act as a key resource to enable all members of the community to understand the role of Council and their role as active citizens and partners in shaping outcomes.
• Support economic participation and activation by connecting businesses and community, and encouraging people to live and spend locally.

The Participate Kensington (and the Neighbourhood Plan that it will influence) is for anyone and everyone who has a connection to Kensington

You might live, work or study in Kensington, play sport, access services, visit places, shop, dine, own a business or property in the area, be part of a group that meets here, or considering moving to or investing in Kensington.
