Better Cities Group supported delivery of the Gold Coast Planning Scheme Amendments Engagement Strategy by translating complex statutory planning changes into clear, accessible information that residents, industry and community groups could genuinely understand. The team undertook a detailed review of each amendment package, identified areas of high community interest or sensitivity, and shaped a communication approach that explained why changes were proposed, how they aligned with the city’s growth needs, and what they meant for different neighbourhoods. This ensured the engagement was grounded in accurate planning logic while still being easy for non‑planners to navigate.
