What people say about us

GREG VANN,
CHAIR OF GOLD COAST WATERWAYS AUTHORITY

GovPartners worked to a tight frame to establish the key themes for attention and to deliver a report that enabled the Board to facilitate positive change in our organisation.

AOIFE WYNTER,
DIRECTOR, NSW DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENT

GovPartners assisted my team with preparation of a guidance document to outline planning legislation changes to support the understanding of industry and community groups. The team turned around the work in a very short period of time, were available on short notice and readily adapted to the changing needs of the project. The final product met our needs and was excellent value for money.

THOMAS RAJANAYAGAM,
CEO AND CO-FOUNDER,
PULSE SOFTWARE

GovPartners were engaged for their knowledge and expertise of the digital landscape in NSW Government and they did not disappoint. Highly impressed with their services and looking forward to working with them more.

AMANDA KERN,
MANAGER ECONOMY, TOURISM AND CULTURE, YARRA RANGES COUNCIL

GovPartners has been instrumental in steering the project team and Yarra Ranges Council throughout the design of a pioneering, innovative planning service delivery tool.  

By consistently applying a public sector perspective, their expertise, experience, and deep insights have been crucial in ensuring that the unique challenges faced by local government are thoughtfully integrated as we enhance the planning process and improve customer experience.

GovPartners has emerged as a trusted collaborator to Council.

TONY DIBBENHALL,
CFO AND DIRECTOR CORPORATE SERVICES, AUSTRALIAN MUSEUM

GovPartners was able to build effective relationships and navigate the unique complexities of a museum environment, greatly enhancing the standard of quality across a diverse set of projects. GovPartners‘ project management expertise, responsiveness, and flexibility have also meant that these critical projects are positioned for successful outcomes on all measures.

JOSEPH KIRKWOOD,
A/ MANAGER REGIONAL DEV, HEALTH AND BIODIVERSITY,
SCENIC RIM REGIONAL COUNCIL

With a shortage of experienced planners in the industry, we engaged GovPartners to assist Council with capacity challenges. The output has been fantastic and we have received positive feedback from our Councillors too. We have also benefited from process efficiency recommendations and a greater focus on the customer. If you are a Council in need of experienced planning assistance, I have no hesitation in recommending GovPartners.
