On the ground and in the air: ECF’s impact across NSW

In recent months, our team has been working shoulder-to-shoulder with high-profile clients across NSW, Queensland and Victoria, designing and delivering strategic communications and engagement programs that connect people to projects, and vision to reality.

Our footprint stretches from metropolitan Sydney to regional communities, and our expertise spans sectors including transport, aviation, urban development, waste, maritime and education. Across every project, our focus is the same meaningful consultation that informs, empowers, and builds trust.

Here’s a snapshot of where we’ve been and the difference we’re making:

Building momentum for medium-density living in Bathurst

In South Bathurst, a proposed residential development is sparking important conversations about growth, liveability, and the future of regional housing.

From community drop-ins and stakeholder briefings to door knocks, online engagement, and detailed FAQs, ECF’s approach is tailored to meet the needs of this regional community while aligning with the expectations of the NSW Government’s streamlined approvals process. Our engagement strategy for this project will create space for feedback that genuinely shapes the project.

It’s timely, proactive, and responsive engagement that helps ensure regional growth is guided by community voices as well as policy goals.

Being part of the conversation on Energy from Waste in NSW

Sustainably managing waste in NSW is no longer a distant ambition it’s an urgent priority. As the NSW Government explores long-term solutions through its Energy from Waste Options Paper, ECF is playing a key role in bringing these complex discussions to the community. We’re working with a number of industry partners to help demystify the landscape, support transparent engagement, and gather meaningful feedback that will help shape the path forward. While it’s early in the conversation with the community, our work is helping communities to better understand energy from waste as part of the mix as we work towards a net zero future in NSW.

Unlocking the potential of South West Sydney

South West Sydney is entering a new era of growth and ECF is right at the heart of it. Partnering with Leamac and Coronation, we’re supporting the proposed Moore Point Precinct redevelopment, a transformative project aligned with major government infrastructure investments and the Liverpool Innovation Precinct. Through proactive stakeholder engagement and community storytelling, we’re helping to highlight the economic, housing, and community benefits that will define the region for decades to come.

Putting people at the centre of progress

At ECF, we believe that better engagement leads to better outcomes. From strategic consultation planning to on-the-ground delivery, we work to ensure the people affected by infrastructure and development decisions are part of the process not just the aftermath.

Whether we’re facilitating community conversations, crafting communications strategies, or supporting major policy rollouts, our mission is simple: connect projects with people, and people with progress.
