Reflecting on the Preferred Options 2021 document, it seems to me there's an alarming absence of a coherent strategy related to community engagement beyond initial consultations. The present plan suggests improvements based on previous feedback without considering how the community’s perspectives may have evolved over time. Consequently, I fear that many critical opinions and emerging issues could be neglected if engagement strategies remain unchanged. A meaningful dialogue is not only vital for trust but essential for shaping final proposals that truly resonate with the community's evolving needs. I firmly believe that establishing continuous engagement practices alongside the planning process would yield better outcomes, ensuring that all residents feel seen and heard throughout development phases.
