Community

NSW Ports is committed to working transparently and constructively with our stakeholders and communities to:

• Secure sustainable and efficient port supply chains for the people and businesses of NSW.
• Explain the value of our ports and intermodal terminals and increase stakeholder awareness of the importance and sustainability of shipping, ports and logistics.
• Manage the impact of port and intermodal terminal operations and developments in a way that balances efficient operations with the environment, and contributes to the building of strong, inclusive communities. 
• Foster whole-of-port action towards sustainability among staff, contractors, tenants, community and government.
• Receive feedback on operational impacts and input to development and planning processes.

• Embed community feedback in our thinking about strategy and operations, and our decision-making process
• Set expectations so that our stakeholders and the community know the parameters of each engagement activity – what it includes and what it doesn't include, ensuring 'no surprises'
• Provide ongoing opportunities for community and stakeholder participation and feedback
• Listen to feedback, investigate suggestions and use it in decision-making (where appropriate)
• Explain how feedback and input is being used or where not used, provide an explanation as to why.

In line with our commitment, NSW Ports has run quarterly meetings of the Port Botany Community Consultative Committee (PB CCC) since November 2013.

The committee is made up of representatives from:

• NSW Ports
• Port tenants
• Local residents
• Government agencies

The committee was formed following the merger of the Port Botany Neighbourhood Liaison Group (view archive of minutes)and the Port Botany Expansion Community Consultative Committee (which was a requirement of the Port Botany Expansion Project Approval - view archive of minutes.)

The Enfield Community Liaison Committee (CLC) was established in May 2009. It provides a forum by which stakeholders, including the local community, can be consulted with and informed about the progression of the Enfield ILC development. It also provides a place where the community can raise any concerns or request clarifications about the project.

The committee includes representatives from:

• NSW Ports
• Operators/ tenants/contractors
• Local residents
• Government agencies
• Strathfield Council and Canterbury-Bankstown Council 

Meetings take place quarterly and are chaired by an independent facilitator.
