Plenty of ways to have your say
We are continuing an open dialogue with community members through drop-in sessions, webinars, face-to-face meetings and the recently expanded Community Reference Group (CRG).
Community feedback has already influenced key parts of the revised project design, including reducing the mining footprint, introducing buffer zones, and improving the way local landscapes are protected and restored.
These conversations and interactions will continue to guide our planning for jobs, training, cultural heritage and land use, helping ensure the project contributes to the region’s long-term prosperity and environment.
