The Project
The Comms Team has worked collaboratively with Council for more than four years to plan and deliver a program of online and in-person activities aimed at raising awareness and encouraging community engagement.
Tasked with ensuring the community and stakeholders have the opportunity to provide meaningful input into the planning process, the team designed and delivered a two-phase consultation program. The first phase was designed to shape the direction of the planning scheme, while the second phase involves a statutory consultation on the proposed changes to the scheme.
Our role has included delivering information sessions, deliberative workshops, stakeholder meetings, focus interviews, and facilitating a Community Reference Group (CRG).
The team also developed social media and advertising strategies, produced multimedia content and built and managed an online engagement hub featuring multiple surveys and interactive maps. Activities have been undertaken at both a regional and local level to ensure the community understand the regional context, while also having a say about changes relevant to their local area.
