Spectrum Comms with Maitland City Council

Project Objectives

Maitland City Council sought to develop a long-term Community Infrastructure Strategy (CIS) that reflects the aspirations and needs of its growing community.

The CIS will guide Council’s approach to planning, prioritising, funding and delivering community infrastructure over the next 20 years. As part of the process, the project also investigated contemporary trends in infrastructure planning and assessed Maitland’s current and future infrastructure supply against projected population growth and demand.

Our Role

Spectrum Comms was engaged to undertake an external review of the Community Consultation undertaken to inform the draft strategy and provide additional insights based on the consultation data provided by Council. This work included:

• An external review of the Community Consultation undertaken.
• Preparing case studies to support each chapter of the strategy.
• Undertaking a comprehensive proofread and edit of the draft document ready for design and layout.
• Preparing a report on internal engagement and make recommendations to finalise the draft strategy for public exhibition.

Outcomes

• A professionally reviewed and refined draft strategy that clearly reflects community aspirations.
• Practical recommendations provided to support finalisation of the strategy for public exhibition.
