Some details
YourSAy is the community engagement platform developed for the South Australian Department of Premier and Cabinet (DPC). Since the creation of SA Plan in 2011, DPC and Katalyst have fostered a relationship that has spanned many years and seen the evolution of the YourSay website. Since the release of the current YourSAy platform over 40 individual government agencies have created around 400 engagements as well as over 18
different types of initiatives based on the foundation of YourSAy, including award winning Fund My Neighbourhood and Fund My Community initiatives.The Challenge
South Australian Department of Premier and Cabinet (DPC) wanted to develop a new online decision platform to enable government agencies to inform and gather feedback from the community. The YourSAy website needed to enable agencies to create their engagements by following a process that would ensure best practice for engaging with the public. The website needed to be scalable so new engagements could be created with the click of a button and without the need for a development team.
The Solution
South Australian Department of Premier and Cabinet (DPC) engaged Katalyst Interactive to custom build the YourSAy website. Working with the team at DPC, Katalyst engineered an extendable solution that catered to multiple government agencies to engage with the community on different initiatives within a single digital platform.
The Outcome
Katalyst has played a fundamental role in the strategic planning and implementation of the YourSAy Platform since its inception around 2011. The system has approximately 117,000 registered users, and almost 100 government agency users over 21 government departments.
Since 2011, Katalyst has continued to work with the South Australia Department of Premier and Cabinet to further develop and improve the platform.
