Why True Radius?

The name came from observation.


Decisions, policies, rules, hopes - so frequently afterthoughts, dropped into rural communities, often by people who thought they'd reached the heart of the matter.

​

But the true centre of a community isn't always where a meeting was held or who was in the discussion. Further out is where the ripples land. That's where the impact is felt - sometimes deeply, and often long after the changemakers have gone.

​

True Radius speaks to that idea: starting from a place of truth, of listening first, and recognising how real change moves. Sometimes slowly. Sometimes powerfully. But always further than expected.

True Radius: Rural Engagement That Works

How often do we see rural engagement talking at communities - not with them?


A stall at a field day.

A community hall briefing on decisions already made.

A glossy brochure full of stock photos and empty promises.


It's called “engagement,” but too often, it’s just noise.

​

True Radius changes that.


Founded by someone who’s worked in and lived the rural reality. We’re a rural engagement business that believes in substance, not spin. To us it's about building trust through real conversations - not assumptions, forms and cultivated bling.

​Our approach is simple:

 


Start with people, not the message.

 


Design for the paddock, not the pamphlet.

 


Work to fit rural realities, not urban timelines.

Why we're different:

​

​

Stories that connect - not reports that collect dust

​

Deep listening, before polished presentations

​

Local knowledge respected as hard-earned experience

​

Accountability that actually closes the loop
