Public Consultation & Community Engagement
Effective community input and appropriate responses from the planning team can significantly improve a project's reception and approval at the political level. PLG has developed and conducted visioning workshops and opinion surveys, and has coordinated numerous stakeholder meetings and public consultation programs.
We are adept at acting on stakeholder concerns to achieve both community and political support.
