Key Insights: Mastering The Planning Process
What’s driving – or preventing – the efficient promotion of major projects right now, and what will be at the top of the agenda in the next five years?
This was the question that CJ Associates asked industry leaders across the major projects community, from sectors including government, energy, utilities, transport, engineering, construction, legal and more. These invaluable insights were presented to the Major Projects Association and published in the first edition of the Key Insights – Consents and Engagement. The second edition of Key Insights – Delivering Engagement Excellence provides insights into the challenges of managing a wide range of complex stakeholder issues.
In this third edition, they examine the main findings related to planning and consents. It is acknowledged that effective management of planning policy and the Development Consent Order process for Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects is critical – so why is it that so many projects struggle to gain approval in a timely manner? This report presents the findings of their research and the output from a roundtable discussion held with experts from the planning community, that will deliver better outcomes for projects and the communities that they impact.
