About the Community Reference Group

We recruited 12 randomly selected community members based on the demographic profile of the Bayside area to form a Collaborative Working Group (CWG). The 12 randomly selected participants consisted of:

one young adult aged up to early 40s - either living alone, in a couple only household or group household;
two adults aged 45-64 - either living alone, in a couple only household;
three older adults aged 65+ - either living alone, in a couple only household;
three adults who are parents of children mostly aged 15 years and over - secondary school kids or tertiary students; and
three adults who are parents of children mostly aged 0-14 years.

A further eight stakeholders from key community groups who were likely to be interested in the footpath policy were also invited to participate. This group consisted of:

two representatives from the Beaumaris Conservation Society;
one representative from Victoria Walks (pedestrian advocacy group). Victoria Walks were unable to take part in the CWG due to staffing issues;
two representatives from the Bayside Healthy Aging Residents Group. Only one representative was able to participate in the CWG;
one participant to represent disability issues;
one representative from the Bayside Climate Change Action Group; and
one Bayside parent with young children who had reported issues to Council associated with a lack of footpaths.

The Collaborative Working Group met on four different evenings from 18 June 2015, concluding their work on 9 July 2015.
