High expectations from stakeholders, a diverse community spread over a vibrant region, and a focus, quite literally, on pathways to the future. Byron Shire Council had all the elements of a dynamic community engagement challenge on their recent PAMP (Pedestrian Access and Mobility Plan) and Bike Plan consultation.
The Council set out to learn about how local footpaths, cycleways, and related facilities were working for the community, what was missing, and what needed to go into planning for upgrading this infrastructure to better serve the region.
The project drew an engagement rate of 50%, generating crucial community feedback and insight on what is to be done to improve local mobility infrastructure. And its success is a lesson on how collaboration, design and planning, pre-engagement activities, and comprehensive digital and offline engagement can create and deliver a successful conversation.
