The City of Melton has made a call out to residents to hear what they want included in the council’s new intercultural strategy, with cash incentives for participants.
The strategy will aim to help all residents feel welcome, equal and connected with one another in order to increase understanding and foster equality.
City of Melton Mayor Goran Kesic said he was proud that Melton was a place with people from so many different backgrounds, cities and beliefs.
“With our community continuing to rapidly grow, it’s important that we understand the challenges and opportunities this diversity brings,” Mayor Kesic said.
“By developing a new intercultural strategy, we can find ways to ensure everyone feels connected,” he said.
The council plans to use the strategy to further engage with diverse cultural, linguistic, faith and LGBTIQA+ communities across all abilities, ages and locations.
Residents can contribute by participating in an online survey or attending in-person or online community workshops.
Survey participants can choose to go in the draw to win one of five $100 shopping vouchers.
