Community involvement

The Iluka Road to Woodburn Upgrade will include community and stakeholder involvement, that will ascertain the values, issues and concerns of the community.

The key objectives of the community involvement process are to:

• Create stakeholder and community awareness of the study and the need for the upgrade.
• Understand stakeholder and community issues, values and concerns related to the project.
• Create stakeholder and community awareness of the route options and then the preferred route.
• Incorporate stakeholder and community issues into each phase of investigation, from the development of route options to the refinement of a preferred option and concept design.
• Assist stakeholders and the community to understand the results of the study and to understand the next steps.

The following activities will provide opportunities for the community to become involved in the study:

• A project information line has been established so that members of the community can speak with a member of the project team during business hours. If the phone is unattended, please leave a message. Phone 1800 258 118.
• A community information session will be held.
• Regular face-to-face meetings between the community and the study team.
• Community updates will be released at various stages of the project to provide information about project developments.
• Advertising in the local area will also keep the community informed throughout the project.

Community Information Sessions - Iluka Road to Woodburn Project

Community Information Sessions (CIS) are open to the whole community. A CIS was held on 8 March 2005 to update the community members on the planning phase of the Iluka Road to Woodburn upgrade project. The session also gave the community an opportunity to provide feedback and discuss issues and concerns about the project. As each CIS is held, meeting notes will be posted onto the web site. The presentation given is also posted below.
