Engaging Communities
Shorter term construction vs. longer term mining
to engage communities.
Develop and nurture opportunities for Local and
Aboriginal employment.
“It is our intention to develop and nurture every
possible opportunity for Local and Aboriginal workers,
suppliers and subcontractors.
Where a choice exists between Local/Aboriginal and nonLocal workers, suppliers and subcontractors, providing
there is no compromise to safety, cost or quality, the
Local/Aboriginal workers, suppliers and subcontractors
will be given preferential treatment.”
