strategy and policy
Effective strategy and policy sets the platform for the success of your organisation.
our Approach to strategy and policy
Sound strategy sets the foundations for success – either for your organisation or your next project. We know it is important to think of the bigger picture before launching into an idea.
We work collaboratively with you and use our skills and expertise to develop your desired strategic direction, and to create policies which are actionable and get real results.
Our strategy and policy services are led by Steve Thompson and Cinnamon Dunsford, who are both qualified planners with extensive experience and knowledge in the local government system. We have expertise across a range of local council functions and business units including economic development, waste, tourist parks, cemeteries, aquatic and leisure centres, tourism/events and land use planning.
Where appropriate, we use a range of community engagement methods to assist in developing successful strategies, policies and plans that have buy in from stakeholders. We also draw upon our political, grant, legal, governance, conflict resolution and procurement expertise.

What our clients saY
“I’ve been working with Steve, Emma and Cinnamon at Locale Consulting for many years, and they have been invaluable in providing consulting services to the Holiday Haven Tourist Park group in many ways. Steve has been able to provide a combination of business and master planning services to enable completion of our 12 park business development plans, whilst Cinnamon has been of great assistance in preparing and seeing our DA’s through the system. She’s also been great helping us work through issues with relevant NSW Government Departments and our communities in some tricky situations. Locale’s staff are hands-on and work closely with us to understand our issues and find workable solutions.
“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.
