Advocacy
We develop effective and highly targeted advocacy strategies for our clients to gain necessary support and approvals, including planning and development approvals, transport and community infrastructure, and project funding.
We have demonstrated success in advocacy and proven ability at winning government and private sector support by developing valued and effective working relationships with Prime Ministers, Premiers, Government ministers, chiefs of staff, advisers, department heads and senior departmental staff.
