Community & Environment Society - Webinar: Mine closure – social impacts and opportunities
Mine closure can bring about a range of changes. This includes impacts on host and neighbouring communities as well as the home communities of fly-in-fly-out and drive-in-drive-out workers. Although many of the impacts are likely to be negative, such as a reduction in employment, there may also be positive outcomes, such as a reduction in noise or air emissions. There are also often opportunities, such as repurposing mine infrastructure where economic diversification is possible. To capitalise on the opportunities and minimise the impacts, early planning, involving stakeholder engagement, is required. This webinar will explore a variety of social issues and opportunities that should be considered in the mine closure planning process.
