Stakeholder identification
We map authorities, landowners, neighbours, traditional leaders, ratepayers' associations and special-interest groups for every project footprint.
Engagement that holds up
Public participation done properly.
Genuine public participation is the backbone of every defensible environmental authorisation. TIS designs and runs processes that meet the NEMA EIA Regulations and give interested and affected parties a real voice in the decisions that affect them.
How we run the process
Notification & registration
Site notices, Background Information Documents (BIDs), newspaper adverts and personal notifications open the comment period and build the I&AP database.
Meetings & feedback
Open houses, focus-group sessions and formal public meetings — facilitated transparently and minuted in full.
Comments & response register
Every issue raised is logged, responded to in writing, and traced through to the final report submitted to the competent authority.
Integration into reporting
Public input shapes the Scoping Report, EIA Report and Environmental Management Programme — not bolted on afterwards.
Authority liaison
We engage DFFE, provincial DESTEAs and municipalities on behalf of the applicant to keep the process moving.
