Current Projects - Working With the Community
In this section
Before beginning significant capital works, we provide information to the community and, where possible, obtain their input into the planning of these projects.
We aim to continually improve our consultation with the community. We evaluate our programs and provide training to project managers involved in planning and delivering community consultation.
