When faced with divergent community and stakeholder views or the need to move a project, policy or planning initiative to the next stage, consultation with stakeholders and community groups needs to be expertly delivered.

Our consultation solutions anticipate objections, impacts and issues and incorporate methods to capture a broad range of community opinions, beyond the loudest voices. Where appropriate, we work with digital software partners to deliver digital-led consultation programmes, or we utilise physical consultation tools that help you understand what your audience wants.

Applying our analytical and editorial know-how, we collate all your project feedback and submissions to prepare a consultation report or Statement of Community Involvement (SCI), which will help you better understand your stakeholder environment and fulfil requirements for planning applications or other formal submissions. 

Our consultation plans and programs have been implemented at the grassroots level to engage community members in urban planning proposals and local government reforms, from rate variations through to the highest levels of government where changes to policy need to be actioned.
