Insights Through Social Research

If you’re a local government team member, we recognise that you may have limited resources to employ a community development or place-making officer. We can offer consulting services to your agency in this field. Contact us to see how we can help.

Community Program Design

Are you a community group, business, organisation or agency looking to develop a program for your community, but don’t have the in-house knowledge to make it happen?

Assure relates to our community program design service. We work within an Asset-Based Community Development framework and use participatory methods to develop programs with the community, for the community.

Grant writing - untangled

Grants can be a maze – finding them, figuring out guidelines, and nailing the application. We’re the word wizards who simplify it all for you. Need a quick look at your draft for reassurance? Or want us to craft the whole application? We can help.

As well as knowing what grants are out there, we have experience both as grant writers and assessors. We know the ropes and can help you untangle them.

Together, we’ll decode grant jargon and help you demonstrate how your project fits.

While grant decisions rest with agencies, we boost your odds by ensuring your application aligns with what assessors are looking for and meets all the requirements.

Social research for your community

Social research can feel convoluted…what does it mean, why is it important and how can you do it? Luckily, this is our obsession.

Whether it’s understanding strategic and social planning projects, engaging the public, undertaking qualitative and quantitative research to identify trends, or diving into broader research projects, we’re here to break it down for you.

We’re all about exploring communities from every angle, digging deep with both numbers and stories. We analyse trends that matter to you. And when it comes to community well-being, we’re on it – capturing, preserving, and boosting it along the way.

Got town planning in the mix? Our expertise in land use and the built environment makes us your perfect partner for Social Impact Assessments. Plus, if you’re after a solid community engagement plan, count us in.

Your community’s voice matters, and we’re here to make sure it’s heard in every public consultation initiative.

Empowering locals...
so, eventually, you won’t need us!

We aren’t always based in your region, but that’s why we put your locals in the driver’s seat as the experts. Our role is to uncover your community’s knowledge and assets, shaping them to achieve your desired outcomes.

At Wattle Consultancy, we believe in equipping locals for the long haul. We ensure sustainability by factoring in environmental, social, and economic needs, allowing your project to thrive. Once programs are in place, we empower the right people with the knowledge to keep them going.

We assure communities of their skills, so THEY can drive change.

Wattle Consultancy was founded on Wardandi Noongar Boodja. We are privileged to live and work on Aboriginal land and are deeply appreciative of all the Nations around Australia. We extend our genuine respect to all Elders past and present across the nation. We support and celebrate the ongoing and infinite connection that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People have to the land, waterways and sky. We recognise that colonisation has had a devastating impact on this connection, and that the impact of colonisation is continued across the nation today.

Sovereignty was never ceded over the land that’s now referred to as Australia.
Always Was, Always Will Be Aboriginal Land.
