To help guide this project we assembled a People’s Panel—a deliberative process where community representatives consider the feedback gathered from the community and provide advice and recommendations to the re:imagine project team.
The People’s Panel was chaired by an independent chairperson—Ms Amanda Whitley, founder of local media brand Her Canberra and 2016 ACT Woman of the Year. The chairperson’s role was to ensure that all participants’ views are heard, and that People’s Panel process is open and fair.
Its role is to ensure that the views of the broader community are accurately reflected to the re:imagine Project Team. The People’s Panel considered the results of our community survey, the re:imagine maps that are returned, information received from presentations received as well as any other community feedback, before preparing a Final Statement to the re:imagine Project Team.
