1 COMPANY PROFILE Twenty five years in the business of Creating Communities OUR VISION Create a better world one community at a time. OUR PURPOSE To transform communities by uniting the interests of people, industry and government, driving shared value. OUR APPROACH We strive for innovation in community and economic development, recognising the uniqueness of communities and the need for a customised, human centred approach. Our drive to develop shared value, community capacity and sustainability sets us apart: we consult, engage and listen. Our methodology builds durable relationships between multiple stakeholders. This collaboration provides real and lasting benefits. OUR EXPERTISE Since 1992 we have been setting benchmarks in community development, and breaking new ground with the development of our models and theories. Our company has grown to become a leader in community engagement, social planning, economic development and facilities planning. We have achieved this by investing in our team, by engaging in research and development, and by forging alliances with other industry leaders OUR RESULTS We have amassed a significant portfolio of award-winning projects demonstrating how our unique approach to people, place and community can solve problems in settings as diverse as suburban street corners, remote country towns, boardrooms, isolated Aboriginal communities, town centres, university campuses, virtual networks, planning forums, shopping centres and local government areas the size of England.

2 OUR SERVICES Most organisational challenges need more than a service they need a deep commitment to make a difference in the world that s where we come in. OPPORTUNITY discover design deliver Equity SPirit Grit ENgage OUR 3D MODEL We take planning from 2D to 3D. Underpinning all our work is our deep commitment to keeping community front and centre in projects. We do this by embedding a human centred approach into our 3D method to enable clients and communities to co-create throughout the discovery, design, delivery phases of our projects.

3 DISCOVER There is so much more to discover than meets the eye. And our eyes fool us. Good research requires us to challenge our assumptions; to see the big picture and understand the whole system. To dig below the surface to find interdependencies and causes rather than symptoms. Communities are complex systems and this is why over the past 25 years Creating Communities has developed models and methodologies to guide projects using an integrated systems thinking and human centred design approach. This approach gets to the heart of things, it unlocks remarkable creativity and innovation as we engage the people and communities to DISCOVER the potential inherent in their greatest opportunities and challenges. From this great insight, opportunity and commercial advantage emerge. Our research and engagement services include: Shared Value Assessment Social Impact Assessment (SIA) Needs Assessment Social Baseline/Community Audit Community and Stakeholder Engagement Facilities Audit Perception Surveys Industry Benchmarking Research: Ageing, FIFO, Community, Education DESIGN A focus on human aspiration is fundamental to great strategy. We believe our job is to unlock the creativity of people, communities and clients to dream, intuit, recognise patterns, build ideas and DESIGN their futures. We focus on the opportunities that sit at the nexus of community, business and government interests. We explore where these interests overlap and work together to achieve creative solutions at the core of these connections. And as the list of services below demonstrates, this approach has wide application. Shared Value Strategy Social Impact Management Plans Economic Development Planning Place Planning Education Business Planning Community Development Strategy Social Planning Strategic Planning Community and Stakeholder Engagement Strategy Corporate Social Responsibility Recreation Planning Policy Planning Communications Strategy Facilitation Public Relations DELIVER There are not many companies that have the privilege of implementing the strategies they develop. We do, and it s what makes our strategies realistic and achievable. And it also means that when it comes to community development, we put our hand to many things: Place Making Social Enterprise Development Capacity Building Residents Associations Community Markets Youth Projects Employment Creation Public Art Cultural Activities Events Management Grants Management The resulting solutions and strategies are unique to their local contexts and have broad ownership.
