Our approach to stakeholder engagement and negotiation is structured around the development of strategic relationships and the critical importance of trusted and independent advice.
Our teams have an extensive track record of guiding councils through complex regulatory frameworks to achieve favourable project approvals. This involves planning advice and development consent, construction approvals and certification, environmental statements and controls, and regulatory compliance.
We have overseen community engagement initiatives on several development projects and our approach includes stakeholder workshop options to seek feedback on sustainability outcomes, environmental and social impacts and long-term economic outcomes.
Peak has extensive experience in stakeholder engagement at all levels of government and we have successfully negotiated quality project outcomes with several government departments. We have also negotiated key project related commercial agreements with energy retailers and connection approvals with transmission network owners (Energy Queensland) for new developments.
