Stakeholder Engagement

STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT

Rowland’s Stakeholder Engagement team partners with clients to engage, build and support the communities in which they operate.

However you define ‘community’, be it a geographic area, development site or target market, our role is to support our clients to maintain a licence to operate within it. This comes down to building trust and relationships that facilitate either project based or long term business goals.

Our team is highly experienced in working with the public and private sector on major infrastructure planning and construction and property developments within both urban and regional areas. These include iconic and at times, sensitive and difficult projects such as bridges, transport corridors, ports, industrial developments and the water grid.

Through this experience, we understand how to truly engage people, work with opposition, develop and continually refine successful strategies, operate within regulatory frameworks, and speak the same language as the engineers and expert consultants involved.

Our skills are equally applicable to building community capacity in regional communities with industry, mining and agribusiness organisations with corporate social responsibility commitments as well as masterplanned developments to form new communities where there was none before.

Through our knowledge of our clients’ industries and the unique communities in which they operate, we balance their necessity for pragmatic solutions with the community’s aspirations to arrive at mutually-beneficial, sustainable, long term solutions.

Rowland’s Stakeholder Engagement team comprises experienced strategists, advisors, project managers, trainers and hands-on implementation staff. This provides the broad range of skills necessary to successfully manage a project from issues identification and preliminary planning through to feasibility studies, construction and operation.
