    Online workshop | Meaningful public participation and Impact Assessment: Tools for effective engagement and communications | Workshop 3

    Public participation, often referred to as community engagement, is a cornerstone of impact assessment (IA) and planning approvals processes. However, ongoing challenges to meaningful engagement include:

    • the complexity of the regulatory environment,
    • navigating uncertainty in impact assessment of policies, plans, programmes or projects, and
    • often low levels of public trust in organisations involved in these endeavours, the media, and governance processes[1].

    Join EIANZ and facilitator Tanya Burdett, for training in public participation, with a focus on impact assessment, explores 13 foundational, essential and contextual elements that combine to form meaningful engagement in IA.

    [1] The 2025 Edelman Trust Barometer suggests 61% have moderate or higher sense of grievance, with impacts on trust; and there are similarly low levels of trust in the emerging role of AI according to a recent KPMG / MelbUni study on trust, attitudes and AI use here
