We have launched our first Australia consultation website for Go Ape Australia. Go Ape construct and run high-wire obstacle courses in forests throughout the UK. In 2009 they set up Go Ape Australia, and are proposing to build a course in The Bidjigal Reserve, near Sydney.

Consense has developed an online consultation to allow Go Ape to communicate their plans to the local residents in an informative and transparent way. It features a Q & A Forum, where registered users can view Go Ape's answers to both questions they have posted, and questions posted by other registered users, a questionnaire and ask a question section.

The Open Debate system has a full management tool allowing Go Ape control over feedback - they can respond to questions, manage the Q & A Forum and update website content. Go Ape can also log in to see who has registered, view the results of their questionnaire and generate instant reports.

The Open Debate admin area can be accessed from anywhere in the world, allowing both colleagues in the UK and Australia to keep the website up-to-date at all times.

We will be launching other consultation sites for Go Ape in the near future, which will add to their Open Debate Master System.
