DELIVERING Quality Community Engagement

Consultation can be a highly contentious space, with multiple stakeholders, different opinions and technical information which need to be balanced and weighed against other considerations. Beyond the statutory minimums, how is a community consultation program delivered to be fair, transparent, legitimate and workable?

About the Series

Delivery of infrastructure, projects and outcomes are often the end of a long process of negotiation, assessment, re-working and hard work by all parties. But exactly how do we ensure that the delivery meets the intended outcome, or even that the tangible outcomes are actually delivered? This series will investigate and enlighten the audience about how planners and their built environment colleagues can ensure that housing, infrastructure, subdivision of lots and the like are actually delivered.

For this series, we have invited a range of speakers to discuss their approach to project delivery, their use of innovation and their tips and tricks that should be in every planner’s tool kit to ensure that the planning work eventuates with a realistic and tangible outcome being delivered. Don't miss this!
