Co-Founder, Bang the Table Pty Ltd
Melbourne Area, Australia
Bang the Table is a specialist provider of online community engagement strategy and tools. We work predominantly with government sector clients, but the technology and processes can equally be applied to large corporate environments.
I have 15 years post-graduate experience working with community and agency stakeholders to develop public policy, with an emphasis on environmental planning and development.
In the past I have worked with the Premier’s Department advising the Minister for the Illawarra and Regional Development. This role emphasized major economic development and planning projects. My previous roles with the Department of Planning and the former Environment Protection Authority provided a thorough understanding of planning and development processes. I have specialist Doctoral qualifications in Community Engagement, together with a breadth of experience delivering both extensive consultative and more intensive participatory processes to communities and organizations dealing with planning, economic, social and natural resources issues. I also have expert training and wide ranging experience in relationship development, facilitation and conflict management.
Bang the Table is the market leader in the provision of low cost online community engagement services to the public sector.
