KLB Consulting developed the Desktop Assessment Report for Explorers' Edge (RTO 12), focusing on the Region's Indigenous Communities. Collaborating closely with RTO 12 staff, KLB ensured the report aligned with the organization's values and strategic priorities.
The report provided a comprehensive overview and included recommendations for fostering meaningful and collaborative relationships with Indigenous communities. It highlighted the importance of consultation, conversation, trust building, and time. This initial assessment served as a foundation for future relationship building, involving active engagement and dialogue with the region's Indigenous communities.
