Vitrinite - Social Impact Assessment

This SIA has been developed in consideration of the Social Impact Assessment Guideline (Department of State Development, Manufacturing, Infrastructure and Planning [DSDMIP], 2018) and other relevant policies and publications.

The SIA describes the current (pre-Project) social environment and assesses the potential impacts and changes that may result during Project operations and closure. The objectives of the SIA include:

• Collect and analyse information about the current (baseline) social environment.
• Collect and analyse information about key social and cultural issues, population change and potential social changes (both positive and negative) as a direct or indirect result of the Project proceeding.
• Develop strategies for mitigation, management, monitoring and review of social impacts, where appropriate, to manage any potential negative impacts of significance.
