Working in the Regions

With over two decades of experience, Tactic has built deep relationships with the people, businesses, government and communities of the Upper Spencer Gulf, Far North, Eyre Peninsula and beyond. Simultaneously, we’ve earned the respect of major project proponents and government bodies through careful analysis of industry data and accurate reporting of project requirements and developments. 

Our independent advocacy and connectivity work balances impartiality with optimism for regional growth, forming lasting connections that benefit all. Tactic grew from the very community it now serves.

Working with regions as large, diverse, and interconnected as the Upper Spencer Gulf, Far North and Eyre Peninsula is complex.

Tactic specialises in simplifying this complexity, minimising friction, and reducing the effort required to facilitate effective collaboration between suppliers and the region, ensuring projects achieve their objectives. With projects often characterised by lengthy development timelines and relatively short execution phases, it is essential to identify what constitutes ‘fit-for-purpose’ local content as early as possible in the planning process. Tactic supports this crucial phase. 

• Understanding Practical Possibilities: Tactic assists in exploring what is realistically achievable. If regional suppliers are unable to meet a project’s requirements for services, quality, or scale, this is acceptable—provided decisions are guided by clear processes and well-communicated rationale.
• ‘If Not, Why Not’ Framework: This principle ensures that decisions are based on procedural fairness, transparency, and trust. By promoting quality engagement and equitable processes, alternative solutions can be confidently explored.
• Achieving the Best Outcome: Tactic is committed to helping projects deliver the ‘optimal possible’ outcomes for the region, the project itself, and Tactic’s members.

Tactic serves as a strategic partner, delivering a tailored, fit-for-purpose approach to navigating and working effectively within the regions.

In many cases, local content can match or even reduce costs compared to group procurement models, while delivering additional benefits such as local employment and other region-specific outcomes.

Tactic possesses extensive, well-established networks within the regions, which can be leveraged to enhance a project’s reach, consultation efforts, communications, and integration with host communities and neighbouring projects.
