The team responsible for community engagement on transport projects are often a few steps removed from the design and delivery process. The engagement itself may lack critical thought as to different user groups and how to reach them. Opportunities can be missed to address questions and concerns held by the community. Users and their needs or aspirations may be poorly understood and not factored into the project design. In this webinar, our speakers will look at a range of community engagement issues by reference to specific projects where effective community engagement contributed to the outcome. They will address the process, timing, feedback, the role of engineers, planners and designers in stewarding quality community engagement and what happens if it goes wrong.
