Stakeholder engagement Good fishway planning should engage all stakeholders from the beginning of the project so that their objectives, expectations and concerns can be considered (Figure 2.2). Stakeholders include owners of the structure, water authorities, land managers, irrigators, anglers and the public. Stakeholder objectives need to be understood and achievable, and clear communication between stakeholders must be maintained throughout the process. Furthermore an expert design team needs to be established which includes experienced engineers, scientists, asset owner/manager and local water authority. Finally, a project manager is required to oversee the design and implementation process including gathering relevant information, delegation of tasks, communication between design team and communication with stakeholders. A suggested engagement and communication strategy is outlined in Table 2.1. Figure 2.2: Engaging with stakeholders at the Barwon barrage.
