Meaningful community engagement is built through action: creating opportunity, listening to local voices, and embedding inclusion into how projects are delivered — leaving a positive, lasting impact beyond construction.
We work with local communities, clients, suppliers, and stakeholders to ensure our projects are delivered safely, responsibly, and with long-term benefits for the regions in which we operate.
As our project footprint grows, we recognise that transparent, and respectful engagement is essential to building trust, managing risk, and achieving positive outcomes for both communities and project partners.
Our Approach
We engage early and consistently throughout the project lifecycle — from tender and design phases through to construction and delivery. Our approach is grounded in listening, collaboration, and proactive risk management.
This Includes
- Early engagement with clients, suppliers, and community stakeholders
- Clear and consistent communication about project scope, timing, and impacts
- Collaboration with local businesses, councils, and industry groups
- Supporting regional capability through workforce development and training initiatives
Safety and Wellbeing
We take proactive steps to:
- Establish clear engagement processes for community interactions
- Equip our teams with appropriate guidance and support
- Reduce reliance on training alone by implementing higher-level risk controls
- Monitor and continually improve our engagement practices
This approach helps protect our people while maintaining respectful, constructive relationships with the communities we work in.
Working With Communities
We regularly participate in local events, business briefings, and stakeholder forums to strengthen relationships and share information. These interactions provide valuable insight into community priorities and help shape how projects are delivered on the ground.
Through ongoing dialogue, we aim to ensure communities feel informed, heard, and respected — and that our projects leave a positive legacy beyond construction.
First Nations’ Engagements
Our Corporate Social Responsibility and Indigenous Inclusion Frameworks guide how we foster our relationships and awareness of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures.
By having this in place, we can better engage with the communities in which we operate and continue to be an employer of choice.
To assist in the implementation of ongoing involvement in Indigenous Inclusion, we have established a RAP Working Group (RWG) with participants from Senior Leadership, People & Culture, and the broader employee base.
