Social impact management plan
As part of its environmental impact statement (EIS) for the Gladstone LNG Project, the proponent prepared a social impact management plan.
The plan - which applies to the construction, commissioning, operation and the decommissioning of the project - describes:
- the project's potential (positive and negative) impacts
- mitigation and management strategies
- implementation actions
- roles and responsibilities of proponents, government, service providers and communities.
