Challenge
APA Group required urgent Community and Social Performance support for a strategic gas pipeline project in its critical early development phase. The project is time sensitive and required immediate social performance expertise to drive APA's approach within a complex landscape, including diverse stakeholders, regulatory requirements and environmental considerations.
Immediate social performance expertise was essential to navigate these challenges, develop appropriate strategies and plans and ensure the project's alignment with community expectations and regulatory frameworks.

Our Social Performance specialists seamlessly integrated with the APA Group project team to provide community and social performance advisory support across a range of areas including social research, consultation planning and strategic planning.
Our team provided a depth of expertise and support required for successful stakeholder engagement while addressing the timeline and logistical challenges identified.
Impact
Our experts were able to accelerate the development of required frameworks and strategies.
A replicable approach was established to social investment and local content plans for future projects and costly project delays were avoided through immediate Community and Social Performance support.
