Community members help us develop the vision, review design options and work with us on urban renewal.
We engage with the communities we work with and ensure that their views are reflected in the places we create.
We develop and implement engagement strategies for all our projects and review these regularly.
Our approach to stakeholder engagement is guided by the Government of South Australia’s Better Together Principles of Engagement and Renewal SA’s own engagement policy.
We engage because our projects are about creating communities and we value the important contribution that stakeholders make in working with us to plan and deliver projects. We recognise that it is essential to engage with communities at all stages of our work, from planning through to completion.
We use a framework to help us define the level of engagement for each stage of our projects.
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 project.
We inform – providing stakeholders with balanced and objective information to assist them in understanding the problem, alternatives, opportunities and/or solutions
We consult – obtaining feedback on analysis and/or decisions.
We involve – working directly with stakeholders throughout the process to ensure that concerns and aspirations are consistently understood and considered.
We collaborate – partnering with stakeholders 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 project.
