Consultation and communication will be an extremely important part of the development of the design for this project. The lead consultant and design team will be expected to be heavily involved and fully engaged in the consultation process and will be required to represent the project at a significant number of public events. To support this aspect the Council will allocate consultation/community engagement experts to work alongside the design team.
