A blistering critique by Victoria's Auditor General of community consultation and public participation in decision-making by local governments reflected poorly on local councils.
We invited the Auditor General's office to speak to our council clients, other councils and statutory authorities at an evening function at our office. Those attending enjoyed a valuable insight into the report's background and action points.
Clifton has worked with a number of councils and statutory authorities to address their shortfalls in community consultation.
We were also invited by RMIT University to jointly promote and participate in a two-day seminar on the issue of community consultation. Communications and community engagement executives from councils and statutory bodies were invited.
