During the year, DSD continued to carry out stakeholder engagement activities in a variety of formats, listening to the public’s views as we briefed them on drainage operations and updated them on key projects. At the same time, we held technical sharing sessions with academics and the industry, and actively volunteered and participated in charity events, in order to contribute to the community.
Public Engagement Activities for DSD Projects
In the course of implementing drainage projects, we share relevant information with the public as far as possible, and focus on the communication between project teams and neighbouring communities.
