community engagement experts, democracyCo, a diverse range of 28 community members from across the region were interviewed in October 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Steering Committee members and project partner organisations, along with some democracyCo staff, identified people in their personal networks (not professional networks) with an emphasis on identifying everyday people in the community who would be less likely to participate in a traditional planning or consultation engagement process.<\/p>\n<p>We listened, not telling them of existing or developing plans; just listened, questioned and learned.<\/p>\n<p>The interviews were intended to help to prepare and frame the resilience challenge authentically before we embarked on broadscale engagement on this issue.<\/p>\n<p>The interviewees
