What our clients say

We have a proven track record working with local councils and not for profit organisations who need help navigating the complexities of the government system. This is what some of our happy clients have to say about us.

“The comprehensive process used by Locale highlighted to Council the extent of effort that is needed to be successful in obtaining substantial grant funding. This is clearly the level of detail that the State and Federal Governments are after, and we are very appreciative of Locale’s efforts in pulling together our successful application for the Woodburn Riverside project.”

Andrew Leach | Manager Asset Planning

“The museum successfully received funding for a substantial refit of the interior exhibitions, as well as the commencement of the out-door project. The Strategic Plan your company undertook has been pivotal in supporting our endeavours. We are in essence, gradually making progress through the targets.”
