Community Relations
Does your project have near neighbours?
Are there aspects of your project that may impact your neighbours?
Was there community concern during consultation periods?
Discontent of the community can cause costly and time-consuming delays.
We can proactively communicate with relevant stakeholders to avoid complaints and delays.
A familiar face is a often a welcomed face, and we live on land, locally, which makes finding shared interests and common ground with nearby landholders uncomplicated. We will represent your project's best interests, while preventing future complaints by building positive relationships.
We have:
- Coordinated and chaired community meetings
- Met face-to-face with neighbours
- Maintained overgoing phone communication with neighbours
We can tactfully communicate in a way that shows your project in a positive light, to build confidence and trust to foster an open communication, where a neighbour feels welcomed to come to us to discuss any concerns, rather than making formal complaints.
If you do have a community complaint, we can assist to investigate the issue and respond to both the regulator and the complainant to prevent escalation.
