DT Communications
Delivering marketing, communications and stakeholder management solutions tailored to infrastructure, business and community development
A balanced approach
Successful project delivery is not only about managing the technical and safety aspects of design, construction and program but also about developing strong relationships with the community and stakeholders.
Effective community engagement and stakeholder management play a crucial role in ensuring construction projects are completed on time and within budget.
When managed well, these elements help minimise risks, avoid delays, and address concerns proactively. This leads to better project outcomes and positive community sentiment.
"Delwyn's expertise in leading stakeholder engagement on the M80 Upgrade gave our delivery teams the freedom to get on with building the job. Delwyn's measured and professional approach consistently contributed to our project's success."

Good communications
Developing strong client/contractor relationships is essential for smooth project delivery.
Fostering trust, open communication and collaboration can prevent misunderstanding, resolve issues quickly and facilitate better outcomes for community and stakeholders.
Projects are often long, complex and challenging. Being willing to listen to each others' needs lays a solid foundation for a productive working relationship.
"Delwyn has used her unique skillset and expertise to help foster strong relationships and adeptly manage and resolve complex issues on some of the Victorian Big Builds largest and most challenging infrastructure projects.”

Healthy engagement needs a healthy team
Project delivery is demanding, fast paced and requires meticulous planning from the get go.
The community expects authentic engagement: consistent and informed. Trust is important.
Developing high performing community relations teams is critical to ensuring stakeholders are genuinely supported and their concerns addressed.
Building healthy teams requires intentional effort. When team members thrive the workplace is happier and project execution is 'on point'.
"Delwyn's empathetic approach to coaching and leading her staff has consistently produced a postive team culture.
I'm impressed by the support and guidance Delwyn provides her team to help them deliver their best."
