What We Heard Report - Engagement Round 1

The purpose of the Engagement Round 1 was to gather early input from key stakeholders and the broader community to help inform the development of the City’s Mining Framework. This initial round of engagement focused on understanding community values, concerns, and expectations related to mineral exploration in City limits.

Through meetings with representatives from the exploration and mining industry, local Environmental Organizations and through a public survey, the project team sought to identify priorities, areas of uncertainty, and themes that require further attention as the policy is refined.

The survey was open from June 24 to July 28, 2025, and was completed by 430 people. The survey had 14 questions with a mix of multiple choice, open ended and ranking questions. The What We Heard Report is now available.
