Community and stakeholder engagement
Better decisions are made when the community and stakeholders are consulted about issues that are important to them. They need to be:
- made aware of relevant issues and engagement opportunities
- given genuine influence in decisions that affect them.
Government, community, and stakeholders working together can improve outcomes, decisions, policies, programs, and use of resources.
Engagement initiatives
The Department of Primary Industries and Regions (PIRSA) engages the community, industry, councils and regional development associations as follows:
- Interacting with people through our network of regional coordinators and industry account managers, holding meetings and industry forums, presenting at community information sessions and attending field days.
- Creating awareness of issues and engagement opportunities through the media, publications and our digital communications.
- Informing, consulting, involving, collaborating with, and empowering the community and stakeholders regarding decisions about matters that may affect them, such as new policies and plans.
- Inviting the community and stakeholders to take part in relevant programs, projects and activities, or seek funding through grants.
Our approach incorporates principles of the:
- Department of the Premier and Cabinet’s Better Together: Principles of Engagement
- International Association of Public Participation (IAP2).
