Methods We Use Assessing Development Impacts
Determining the scope of the project
This phase determines the scope of the project, who are
the relevant stakeholders and the core issues involved.
Co-ordinating stakeholder input to a project is an essential
ingredient to a successful outcome to sustainable
development. That can be achieved by engaging stakeholder
input though meetings, phone interviews, group discussions
and the media.
Project Impacts
Evaluating the impacts on a community by a development.
Managing the Impacts
Managing the impacts involves working out the ways to
maximize the benefits for the development and the community,
minimizing impacts and developing programs which will
compensate for the unavoidable effects on a community,
balancing those programs with the need for the development
to be environmentally and economically sustainable. As a
potential outcome, this phase may mean brokering a result
when there is conflict between a developer and the community
or recommending consent conditions to Government agencies.
Monitoring
This phase works closely with the stakeholders to give a
practical, independent assessment and advice on the effects
and changes bought about by the development as it progresses
and how those changes might be managed.
As Mr Hornery says: “I know how to manage a client’s
impacts on communities because I have managed local
communities for more than 25 years.”
Matters of Governance
Hornery & Associates builds on a long experience in
all facets of local government that allows for the company
to give practical advice on matters of governance in the
local government sector. That advice extends to financial,
budgeting, planning, engineering, development processes and
ways to engage the community in discussion on the management
of their community and its infrastructure. |
