Better placed: Better for community

Future Transport: Customer Focused

Implementing a Movement and Place approach requires collaboration between a range of practitioners and the community, embracing diverse views to forge a common vision. A collaborative process allows diverse views, negotiation and trade-offs – and documents those trade-offs to create a transparent decision-making process, leading to robust, defensible outcomes. An outcome that aligns movement and place is also likely to receive broader community support.

Key questions

1. Has the process involved practitioners from both movement and place, and local communities or their representatives?
2. Have local communities been engaged in the design process? Do community needs (community strategic plans and local strategic planning statements) articulate place needs and aspirations? Do strategies and actions address those needs?
3. Have a variety of views been taken into account? Have trade-offs been documented to lead to transparent decision-making and defensible outcomes?
4. Has a governance group been established or existing governance group repurposed for community engagement or social resilience?
