Effectively engaging and managing the community can be one of the single biggest challenges affecting the successful delivery of a project. If done poorly, significant project delays can be experienced. The community, when not properly engaged or poorly managed, can lead to a loss of community support, political back lash and a loss of credibility for the client and the project team.

Consultation is not a simple task. Effective community consultation requires the skills of a team of experienced professionals who can work with the client and the community to achieve mutually acceptable project outcomes. The Harrison Group (Qld) have extensive experience in engaging the community and stakeholders on various projects.
