ILLUSTRATIVE OUTLINE — FOR SCOPING DISCUSSION

Stakeholder participation and feedback plan

A sample plan for clarifying who can contribute, how participation is supported and how input will be used.

1. Participation map
Groups affected by the decision, existing relationships and gaps in representation.

2. Engagement design
Questions, accessible formats, participation supports and clear information about decision authority.

3. Feedback record
A structure for summarizing themes, explaining responses and reporting back to participants.

A USEFUL STARTING POINT
- The decision to be informed and what participants can influence.
- Existing relationships, engagement commitments and known participation barriers.
- The time and resources available for accessible participation and follow-up.

WHAT WE AGREE BEFORE STARTING
- A general engagement plan does not replace any specific legal consultation duty or relationship protocol.
- Participation cannot be assumed to represent consent or the views of an entire community.

Final methods, contents and responsibilities are agreed in your proposal.
