The City of Whitehorse wanted a solution to help the community positively engage with the often contentious issues of neighbourhood character, activity centres and housing.


Harvest, working in collaboration with Planisphere (now Ethos Urban) designed a web platform that provided a standalone summary of the significant background work that has been completed, using plain language, info-graphics and web-mapping to communicate key messages.


The site also contained an interactive survey designed to solicit information on housing such as "what will be the housing needs of the user in 10 years time?". This information was then used to refine draft strategies and ensure more community buy-in on the project.
