At BROOKS, we believe in a more personal approach to community consultation, one that centres on Deep Listening. This method ensures every voice is heard and valued, creating an environment where each stakeholder feels genuinely listened to, acknowledged, and respected.

Our engagement activities are designed not just to gather information, but to build relationships. This approach underpins all our engagement activities, reflecting our commitment to truly understanding and addressing the needs of the communities we serve.
