Our Engagement Framework

We use a framework to help us define the level of engagement for each stage of our urban development activity.  

Developed by the international association for public participation (IAP2), and endorsed by state government, the public participation spectrum has differing levels of engagement depending on the stage and the development.

  • We inform – providing the public with balanced and objective information to assist them in understanding the problem, alternatives, opportunities and/or solutions

  • We consult – obtaining public feedback on analysis, alternatives and/or decisions.

  • We involve – working directly with the public throughout the process to ensure that concerns and aspirations are consistently understood and considered.

  • We collaborate – partnering with the public in each aspect of the decision including the development of alternative and the identification of the preferred solution.

  • We empower – placing decision making in the hands of the public.

Levels of participation can vary among stakeholders and vary for the same stakeholder at different stages of the development activity.
