Community Consultation

Jemena recognises that community consultation is important to reduce impacts associated with the construction on local residents and businesses. Consultation with the local community, local businesses, government agencies and other stakeholders are undertaken prior to construction.

Jemena has developed a community consultation plan to outline steps taken to ensure the community is kept well informed during and throughout the construction process. Jemena will, under this plan:

• conduct community information sessions
• conduct community pre-construction surveys
• place project advertisements in local newspapers
• produce newsletters
• provide a 24 hr free call 1800 community contact number (1800 118 835)
• provide translation and interpreter services
• establish a website with information about the scheme for residents and businesses
• provide notifications prior to residents and buisnesses, prior to (approximately 1 month, 7 days and 24 hrs prior) and after construction activity.

Community feedback will be used to inform the project team of potential environmental, social and economic impacts associated with the project.  Local knowledge and feedback from the community, businesses and other stakeholders will help Jemena to identify possible design, construction or operational measures that could mitigate impacts associated with the proposed Rosehill Recycled Water Scheme.
