CONSULTATIONS AND NEGOTIATIONS
Introduction
Consultations don’t only happen during the application process; they may occur at any point in the life cycle of any project. You can use this module any time you wish; all you need to do is make sure that the consultation details are associated with the appropriate project or business objects.
Contractual consultations usually only occur among partners, although other interested parties may be involved from time to time. Nevertheless, for the purpose of this discussion, we will use the example of a consultation that happens during the evaluation of an application for the purpose of granting a licence.
Once the application has been submitted, a process of consultation and negotiation may be required in order to decide what conditions will apply to permission and provide more details about how the work is to be done. These consultations may be conducted with local communities, recreational groups, agricultural groups, environmental groups or local business people.
Almost any kind of forum may be used for a consultation – whether you do business by mail, email, phone, teleconference or in person is up to you. PPDM will track information about what discussions were held, who participated, what issues were raised and how they were resolved.
Once the consultation process is complete and all issues have been addressed, you will be ready to write a contract or obtain a consent or license, depending on what you were after. If you are creating a contractual relationship, see the Contracts Reference guide for more information. This module will continue with the process of obtaining permissions and consents.
