about this project

Salisbury City Plan City-Wide Community Engagement

Intermethod developed an engagement strategy and led on the city-wide engagement for the strategic City Plan 2030 document.

For this engagement, Intermethod designed a series of engagement materials, including: reply paid postcards, reply paid surveys, customer surveys for face-to-face interviews and survey drop boxes. Simple and catchy graphics of these materials ensure a high degree of interest and engagement, despite a challenging timeframe to the engagement activities. During this engagement, 1,001 people put forward a total of 3,036 views and ideas about the direction for the future of City of Salisbury.

 

During the course of the engagement program, Intermethod devised, coordinated and facilitated:
• 417 face-to-face interviews with the members of the public
• 363 survey and postcard responses
• 8 stakeholder workshops with a total of 201 participants
• a photography competition.

 

Intermethod analysed and categorised all 3,036 views and ideas and presented them in the ‘Complete Engagement Feedback’ report. To summarise the findings of this engagement program, Intermethod produced a succinct ‘City Plan 2030: Engagement Outcomes’ report, which contained profiles of all of the participants, an overview of the process and a summary of key messages that have been put forward.

 

All engagement activities were delivered within a tight three month time frame and duration of the entire projet was 4.5 months.
