What we have heard
Acknowledging opposition  
We respect anyone’s right to oppose the project, which is especially understandable for neighbours who may be more directly affected than others in the community. 
Providing more detail, when its ready  
There’s strong interest from the community in the detailed information about potential impacts and mitigation measures, and people have shown patience while the technical and environmental studies—where this detail is developed—have been underway. 
Statutory public exhibition period
There’s concern that the minimum 28-day EIS exhibition period is too short given the complexity and amount of detail in the project.
Taking care of people most impacted 
People want to understand what support will be provided to those most affected by the project .
Accessible face to face opportunities 
We’ve heard that people lead busy lives and appreciate the chance to connect with us at community events or by dropping into the Project HQ to learn more and share their thoughts. 
Value information sharing 
The community values ongoing, transparent communication to build trust and ensure all voices are considered throughout the project.
