Community Consultation with Urban Strategies Achieving results beneficial to the community
In our open democracy, town planning processes are expected to be transparent, with opportunity for the public to influence outcomes both through their elected representatives and directly. The Integrated Planning Act implements the promise of open decision making in Queensland and is typical of legislation throughout Australia.
Urban Strategies deals with public input with planning processes on a daily basis.
Whether as a proponent of development or acting for a submitter, Urban Strategies is regularly called on to convene or facilitate forums for public input.
The focuses of Urban Strategies consultations are as diverse as the different development types which we cater to, but examples of our Community Consultation work include:
- Public meetings
- Information Sessions
- Focus Group Workshops
- One-on-one and small group interviews
- Targeted surveys
- Attitudinal surveys
- Brochures and newsletters
Urban Strategies staff has been involved in intensive public consultation exercises on major infrastructure projects including:
- Defence Housing Australia residential projects
- Amberley RAAF Base expansion
- Community facilities projects such as Aboriginal Hostels Ltd, Mackay and PresCare's Hopetoun and Carina Aged Care facilities
