We understand communities, social impacts and opportunities

Social Planning

Our team at Leisa Prowse Consulting is dedicated to helping clients understand the community where their project is being delivered.
We deliver social planning services that combine our expertise in engagement, with our technical understanding of data-informed reporting. This approach provides clients with the best combination of quantitative and qualitative inputs to understand how communities work and the strategies that work for them.

We work with clients to deliver a range of comprehensive social planning services, including:

  • Social impact assessments: Thoroughly evaluating the potential social effects of a project on a community to proactively address challenges and maximise benefits.
  • Social impact management plans: Developing clear, actionable strategies to mitigate negative impacts and manage social change effectively throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Community benefit arrangements: Facilitating collaborative agreements that ensure projects deliver tangible, long-term benefits directly to the communities they affect.
  • Social values research and engagement: Conducting in-depth research to understand the unique social fabric, values, and priorities of a community, ensuring engagement is respectful and relevant.
  • Community visioning plans: Guiding communities through a collaborative process to define and articulate a shared vision for their future, creating a roadmap for sustainable development.

By combining our proven community engagement practices with the principles of urban planning and sociology, we provide a holistic service that not only meets regulatory requirements but also builds trust, fosters positive relationships, and creates lasting value for both our clients and the communities they work with.
