Figure 5.4 Developing a community options session

Textual description

This figure describes developing a community options session. Step one is to develop background information and skills, which includes preparing background material, exchanging information and creating local experts before the options design, and briefing key players. The next stage is developing and testing ideas or options in a community options session over a week or weekend. This is on-site locally, with experts, locals and politicians, using maps, testing information and developing ideas – checking costs and funding impacts. The final stage is further discussion (reviewing options and looking at RMA requirement) or preparing a detailed implementation plan.
