“Winning the Award for Infrastructure – Planning and Design for Nepean Redevelopment Stage 1 has been a great motivator for our project team as we head into the planning and design phase for Stage 2. It has also reassured us that we are on the right track when it comes to meaningful and effective community engagement. In 2020, the recognition we received at the IAP2 awards will help us break down some of the traditional boundaries around early and regular community participation in the hospital design and planning process. I am also hoping it will give us a mandate to try new methods of engagement across all our health projects.”

“Winning 4 awards in 2019, including the IAP2 project of the Year awards for Australasia and International was an incredible honour. The awards recognise the power of tailoring a mix of methods to different challenges and communities.

It recognised the possibility of engaging large audiences of up to 1 in 5 households in a city, and doing that through a mix of deep dive work, creative expression and gamification. It also recognises the importance of undertaking engagement that leads to genuine decisions thanks to the commitment of our client decision-makers who genuinely want to understand and respect their community members.

Most importantly the awards recognises the passion and dedication of our staff. They’re both brave and collaborative with our clients.”

“As a boutique consultancy, based in far north Queensland, winning a Core Value Award allowed Working Visions the chance showcase authentic and culturally appropriate Indigenous engagement. As the Dengue Out Program – Wolbachia project -was a collaboration across four organisations and the entire community of the Northern Peninsula Area, the Award also provided the opportunity to highlight the work of our partners.  It also provided cumulative recognition of our regional engagement work over many years.”

“Winning this award has allowed us to not only share what the Blacktown Native Institution site means to the Dharug people, but to share what it took to finally hand the land back – commitment, determination, being flexible, and most of all several years of building trusting relationships.”
