The training was excellent – casual, relaxed and inclusive, but very informative in easy to understand language.

Very engaging and thought provoking for a training course I wasn’t very excited about!

Steve has facilitated a very innovative planning model for the coastal village of Shoalhaven Heads. The Shoalhaven Heads Strategic Plan has been an instrument which has been driven by the community and made into an evolving document by Steve which has now been adopted by Shoalhaven City Council and endorsed by all levels of government.

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.

Relaxed and approachable. Low reliance on Powerpoint which felt quite conversational, for a complex topic.

Locale Consulting were personable and reactive to our needs, always providing updates on progress and delivering on time and to a high quality. We have no hesitation in recommending them to others.

I loved the case studies and the questions that provoked real life discussion amongst colleagues.

The community was encouraged and empowered to take the reins in as many ways as they were motivated and able. And the outcomes thus far are already immense – a fantastic, thorough, concise, clear, user-friendly plan to act upon going forward.

The Bundanon Trust has worked with Locale Consulting to achieve a positive outcome for our regional master plan application for our $28.5 million Riversdale redevelopment project.  Locale Consulting was very knowledgeable about the process and provided valuable advice throughout the application preparation and assessment. We have no hesitation in recommending them to others.

Emma prepared well and ran the workshop smoothly and effectively on the day. She encouraged creative thinking with a range of exercises and tools. These were a refreshing highlight and opened up the process beautifully.
