We actively pursue genuine understanding of the expectations of our surrounding communities to meet their varied interests and concerns, extending beyond regulatory compliance and working hard to improve our operational, environmental and social performance. We do this, in part, through our Local Voices Surveys.

Local Voices surveys are open to existing and new participants to provide a transparent and highly considered platform for the community to offer valued and confidential feedback. 

The Local Voices approach consists of an Anchor survey, followed by three Pulse surveys, conducted over a two-year period (delivered by Voconiq, an independent data science, research and community engagement company who use licenced CSIRO technology). The results of this survey provide an opportunity for sophisticated data analysis that is translated into comprehensible language openly available to the community and stakeholders. Port Waratah is committed to engaging with community members and stakeholders about survey results and opportunities for further improvement and positive community outcomes.

We further connect with our stakeholders through a broad range of methods including: 

• 24-hour community enquiry telephone line and online enquiry form
• Social media (Facebook, Instagram and Twitter)
• Regional advocacy representation at stakeholder meetings
• Meetings with Port Waratah representatives for anyone with concerns about our operations
• Site tours
