FORWARD THINKING - Consultation

Consultation in planning plays a vital role in the development realm and has been used for many years now to inform all levels of stakeholders. However, consultation methods have changed over time through innovations of technology and It is sometimes how well we utilise these technologies as to how effective consultation can be.

This seminar brought together two speakers from both the public and private sector who have extensive experience with community engagement and consultation methods. The seminar focused on what innovative ways engagement can be undertaken and also looked at what might be lacking and what improvements can be made, could there be more forward thinking to better utilise the technologies that we have at hand.
