The Future of Community Engagement is Here

💬 Talk to Your City. Shape Your Future.

Imagine walking through your local park and having a conversation with a bench. Or stopping at a bus stop and sharing feedback on your commute—instantly. With Hello Lamp Post, this is now a reality.

At ECF, we believe that for cities to truly serve their people, they need to listen. That’s why we’ve partnered exclusively with Hello Lamp Post, a globally recognised engagement platform that turns everyday urban objects into interactive touchpoints. By combining ECF’s deep expertise in community engagement with HLP’s cutting-edge technology, we’re giving Australians a new way to connect with their surroundings—effortlessly, inclusively, and impactfully.

How It Works

🚏 Everyday Objects, Smarter Conversations
Hello Lamp Post uses simple, text-based AI to transform urban infrastructure—sign boards, building foyers, bus stops, hoardings and more—into interactive tools for engagement, including in multiple languages. No apps, no downloads—just scan a code, send a message, and start a conversation.

📊 Real-Time Insights
Every interaction captures valuable feedback, providing local governments, businesses, and organisations with actionable insights into what their communities need and want.

🌏 Global Innovation, Local Impact
Having already transformed engagement in cities across the UK, US, and Europe, Hello Lamp Post is now available exclusively through ECF in Australia—helping councils, developers, and cultural institutions bridge the gap between people and places.

Why It Matters

✅ Smarter, More Inclusive Cities
Hello Lamp Post removes barriers, making participation effortless and accessible to all.

✅ Better Decision-Making
By capturing real-time community feedback, organisations can make informed, data-driven decisions that truly reflect public needs.

✅ Stronger Community Connections
Engagement isn’t just about gathering data—it’s about building trust, encouraging dialogue, and creating spaces that people feel a part of.

✅ No Barriers to Entry
No need to download an app or attend a meeting—just scan, text, and chat. It’s community engagement made easy.

Bringing the Future of Engagement to Australia

Through this exclusive partnership, ECF is leading a new era of community engagement—one where cities don’t just exist around people but actively interact with them.
