Our Stakeholder Engagement Solutions
Stakeholder Engagement Services for Local Government
Markstone Group specialises in fostering effective and meaningful stakeholder engagement programs for local government initiatives. With over 20 years of experience, we have assisted more than 50 councils across Victoria and New South Wales to address key issues such as government advocacy, public and transport infrastructure development, digital transformation, waste management, and community services. Our approach combines a deep understanding of local government challenges with innovative engagement strategies to ensure inclusivity and actionable outcomes.
Our methodologies include facilitating workshops, conducting surveys, forming advisory groups, and leveraging digital tools to engage diverse stakeholder groups. Whether the objective is to gather insights for infrastructure projects, build consensus on community initiatives, or advocate for regional development, our team excels at creating platforms for constructive dialogue with stakeholders and government. Our work has driven impactful outcomes, such as the creation of regional strategies and influential submissions to state and federal governments.
