Guide to Using Citizens Juries Handbook - Lyn Carson, Editor

Part of a series of Consult Your Community Handbooks, provides practical information and case studies at state and local level of Citizens’ Juries in NSW.

Involving communities early in planning processes is likely to lead to a greater sense of ownership and acceptance of any plans and outcomes that are developed, while actively building community during the process.

This Handbook, edited by Dr. Lyn Carson and published by the NSW Department of Planning (2003), covers:

• what is a citizens jury?
• how can citizens juries complement existing public participation processes
• practical steps in organising a Citizens’ Jury
• NSW state level case study: citizens’ jury on container deposit legislation
• 2 local level case studies: Wollondilly and Ballina shires, NSW
