Are you confused about what precisely the role of your community manager is? 🏠 Each state in Australia has different legislative requirements and terminology, resulting in many different ways to refer to the topic of community management, but the role is exactly the same. In our recent article, we outline the role of a strata manager: https://lnkd.in/giCGz9Xz

Community relations doesn’t have to be spooky 👻 especially when it comes to its role in real estate development decision-making. Successful developers recognize that community relations is an ongoing journey. They understand that every project is a chapter in an ever-evolving narrative, co-written by both the developer and the community. And, when communities feel seen & valued beyond a project’s completion, they become natural ambassadors, enriching the spaces with their stories and experiences. At Oak & Argyle, we prioritize a different kind of blueprint — one designed with the heartbeat of the community in mind. From inception to completion, dialogue drives our process.

Building great communities is a team effort, and I’m grateful for the strong partnership we have with the Town of Sahuarita Mayor Tom Murphy and town manager, Shane Dille. We achieve actionable results by focusing on three key elements: 👉 Open Communication — Regular and transparent communication ensures everyone is on the same page. I’m on the phone with Shane or Tom on a regular basis and we have standing meetings for our teams to address challenges quickly and keep projects on track. This builds trust and respect. 👉 Shared Vision: Having a shared vision for the future is crucial. By collaborating closely, we create developments that not only meet current needs but also anticipate future growth and opportunities, ensuring long-term success and satisfaction for residents. 👉 Collaborative Problem-Solving — When challenges arise, having a strong partnership allows us to brainstorm and implement effective proactive, solutions together. This collaborative approach ensures that we can overcome obstacles efficiently and continue progressing toward our shared objectives. Grateful to these two gentlemen for always being at the table to help us create a better life for our residents! #CommunityBuilding #Publicprivatepartnerships

When leaders of local authorities are looking to appoint, they should consider the value of lived experience. As search consultants, we must support candidates to be comfortable doing so. Thank you to Ryan Collymore for contributing to this article and talking about this from his perspective. #livedexperience #localgovernment #executivesearch Frazer Thouard Nancy Scott Kembi Coakelin Jo Brown Cherie Cuthbertson Hakeem Osinaike

Kiwi friends! 🥝 We've been running an AU/NZ State of Community Management Survey since 2015 & it has become a key resource for practitioners, employers & more. But we always struggle to get decent NZ representation - we know there's a ton of folks managing online communities we're not reaching. I'm hoping you can contribute to changing that, by a) doing the survey (5-7 min), and b) sharing through your networks of NZ digital community folks: https://bit.ly/ACMSOCM23

"Let's be more open with our lived experience when we apply for a new post" says Ben Parsonage, Senior Consultant in our Local Government practice. In this short article, Ben explores how leaders with lived experience can bring a better understanding of the needs and concerns of the community, as well as provide a fresh perspective on how to address and solve problems. Ryan Collymore, Head of Housing and Property Services for Brent Council, grew up living in housing provided by the same council and brings his own personal perspective on this. "I believe the lived experience gives you a unique advantage of being able to truly put yourself in another person's shoes."  Read more here. #LocalGovernment # LivedExperience #Brent #SocialHousing
