About

The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) is the principal adviser to the Commonwealth Government on the care and development of the Great Barrier Reef.

The GBRMPA wanted to improve their community engagement and encourage a culture of best practice. They needed an agreed framework of what working in partnership with the community meant in terms of behaviours and attitudes (both internal and external), tools and processes.

Impact Australia worked with GBRMPA to:

  • Assess the current culture towards community engagement
  • Facilitate a senior management workshop to work through the issues raised and develop future strategy
  • Communicate a strategy for a culture change towards best practice community engagement

Following our intervention the GBRMPA benefited from a common vision highlighting what community engagement means for their business.

“Our Developing Leadership Skills programmes have been extremely successful, combining leadership activities and peer feedback with business-specific projects requiring inspirational leadership in the workplace. A key objective for Wates in this programme is the transfer of learning back into the workplace and without a doubt the business projects allow this to happen. A number of business projects are now in the implementation phase and are adding value to the Group."

"Impact listened very carefully to our expectations and thoughts on the objectives and desired outcome of the retreat and developed the agenda accordingly. They also provided us with the right man for the job of facilitating the retreat as he knew exactly when to come in and step back in moving the discussions forward."
