community engagement
Bio-solids treatment plant — a regional water authority asked for help in winning community support for a bio-solids treatment site it needed to develop—a plan that had already been strongly opposed and rejected twice in the local area. Clifton’s campaign involved community consultation, media strategy and stakeholder management. The result was that the new plan was accepted without objection.
Railway station redevelopment — Clifton won the bid to provide communications support for the first stage of a major city rail redevelopment, intended to be developed as a public private partnership. This included running all communications to do with the site including community consultation, designing and writing newsletters, designing the website, lifting the profile of the redevelopment and stakeholder management. Community feedback indicated a very positive response.
Infrastructure development — an international consortium retained Clifton to handle the media communications and community consultation aspects of their bid process. We undertook extensive community consultation to accurately determine the needs and opinions of local landowners. The research findings were incorporated into the bid submission. The state government selected the consortium to construct the project and praised its community consultation initiatives.
