Wentworth Point Community Group

MAKING A DIFFERENCE FOR THE WENTWORTH POINT COMMUNITY

In mid-2024, the City of Parramatta sought expressions of interest from passionate community members of Wentworth Point to join a Community Group.

Community group members are local people (volunteers), who want to make a difference to their community.

This community-led group will represent the interests, concerns, and aspirations of the community. The group is to consist ofup to 15 community members fromdiverse backgrounds, including, but not limited to, language groups, sexual orientation, lifestyles, ages, and faiths.

Members will regularly meet to discuss and voice the needs and views of the community on items that matter to the community, as well as identity actions and efforts for improved outcomes for Wentworth Point. Details regarding commitments and responsibilities of group members will be outlined in a Terms of Reference document which will be finalised with input from the group once its formed (May/June2024).

Expressions of interest were welcomed until 5pm on Friday 17 May 2024. All applicants will be informed shortly about the outcomes of the selection process.


Previous community engagement

In 2021 and 2022, the City of Parramatta Council engaged the Wentworth Point community to inform the development of a Place Plan for the suburb. The Place Plan will establish a vision for Wentworth Point and set objectives and actions to help ensure that Wentworth Point is a liveable, sustainable and thriving community into the future.

Throughout late 2021, Council conducted a survey to hear about the concerns and issues the community would like to see addressed within the Place Plan.In April 2022, randomly selected, demographically representative community members living in Wentworth Point served as a ‘People’s Panel’to provide input on community recommendations for the Place Plan.The selection process was out-sourced to a third-party organisation to ensure recruitment of group members was independent of Council involvement.
