What is “adequate” Community Engagement?

Adequate or good community engagement is not about reaching complete consensus or giving the community or a particular stakeholder group their preferred outcome on a project (although sometimes not getting the outcome they want is the reason why some stakeholders criticise a project or it engagement processes). After all, good community engagement should consider the needs and preferences of all stakeholders, and reflect their feedback and needs in the decisions and outcome.
