PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Airport expansion stakeholder map

An airport expansion stakeholder map shows who can approve, influence or be affected by a proposed runway, terminal or access project. The airport authority sits at the center because it coordinates the proposal, but the drawing makes clear that it cannot proceed alone. The city council handles planning conditions, the aviation regulator reviews safety, and a contractor delivers the work. Airlines may support additional capacity while nearby residents and environmental groups raise concerns about noise, traffic or habitat. Labelled links turn a contact list into a working engagement plan. Use the map early, before consultation starts, to identify whose questions need answers and where disagreement may delay a decision. Update it when responsibilities or positions change during the project.

  • Approval route: Show the council and regulator decisions before construction begins.
  • Affected groups: Keep residents and environmental advocates visible beside commercial stakeholders.
  • Relationship type: Label support, oversight and conflict so the team can plan each conversation.

When to reuse this

Use this map when a public infrastructure project has several decision-makers and affected communities.
