We live in a democracy where engaging with governments and policy and decision-makers is an accepted part of the democratic process. We understand how government works. Our consultants have worked as policy and media advisers in state and federal governments and have an in-depth understanding of the political process.
We draw on our deep experience and knowledge of government to guide our clients when they engage with federal and state governments. We're a registered lobbyist which means we're legally allowed to make representations to state and federal government on behalf of clients.
See below how we helped Wallarah 2 Coal project engage with the NSW Government and environmental activists.
South Korean coal company Wallarah 2 is seeking approval from the NSW Government to secure a mining license to develop a $1 billion mine in NSW.
Reputation Edge provided strategic media and communications advice and government lobbying support to Wallarah 2 to highlight the hundreds of jobs the project will create on the Central Coast, which suffers from high unemployment.
Despite sustained opposition from a local action group and environmental activists, the Wallarah 2 project received formal approval in January 2018 from the NSW Planning Assessment Commission. This ended a 22-year battle by the proponents to develop the mine.
