PROJECT

Seven Mile Beach Local Area Plan

The judges recognise that this project is a great example of best practice stakeholder engagement.

This project adopted a pro-active, tactical approach to engaging with those community members who are often unable or unwilling to engage, thus addressing an age-old planning challenge. The resulting approach incorporating intercept surveys was an effective, targeted and inexpensive way to hear from an often-little heard part of the local community, helping to inform the sensitive topic of growth management.

The judges were impressed by the adaptability of the approach, its expanded focus to address other issues of local concern and its flexibility to meet stakeholder expectations resulting in meaningful engagement. This project serves as an excellent model for similar projects in other jurisdictions.
