C O M M U N I T Y + I N F R A S T R U C T U R E
Where we work:Any place where organisations are investing to achieve better outcomes for communities:
Indigenous Australia: empowering local communities
We work with and for Indigenous communities and organisations, to design and manage their own infrastructure projects, based on Indigenous needs, goals and aspirations, while satisfying the funder's program requirements.
We bring a sustainable development approach to community owned initiatives that reflect national goals, international best practice, local capacity and traditions.
We help resource companies maintain good relations with local
landowners, by providing local employment and quality housing and
facilities in remote and potentially volatile areas.
Our approach is to understand and analyse before
designing workplaces that improve flow and process,
creating positive cultural change within your
organisation.
Knowledge Management: sharing knowledge
We specialise in the effective use of ICT (Information
and Communication Tools) in a Development context.
Our track record:
Over the last 20 years we have delivered over 300 projects in countries such as Australia, Cambodia, East Timor, India, Indonesia, Laos, New Caledonia, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, The Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and Vietnam for a diverse range of clients from the private and government sector, including International Development Donors (World Bank, AusAID, ADB); Indigenous Corporations; Local Government; and private sector firms in the Asia Pacific region.
Our approach:
We will work with you to realise the best results for your projects, from initial project identification, delivering the project, and into operations. We will help you radically improve the 'value for money' equation for your investments in buildings, towns and places, and in your ability to create, use and maintain them. We also go beyond buildings using the same principles when working on community development, social action planning, training or policy making.
From the outset, we engage you in broad strategic thinking and planning about your investment goals. We work with you to understand and incorporate a wide range of stakeholder requirements into the development process. We take you into a deep investigation of what you and your stakeholders really need.
We also focus on lean design and zero waste : re-thinking all aspects of the investment that are delivering poor or little value. We critically examine the development process, and question old assumptions, as well as applying our skills in design, engineering and project management.
We look forward to sharing our experience with you. Contact us:
