Fremantle Ports consulted with the community during its planning for the Inner Harbour deepening project so community and other stakeholder views could be taken into account. This consultation included workshops, briefings and meetings with various groups, organisations and individuals.
The consultation process included meeting with Aboriginal Elders to obtain consent for the project under Section 18 of the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 and consultation with the Environmental Protection Authority and Department of Environment and Conservation as project regulators. Submissions were also sought on the Public Environmental Review document.
Fremantle Ports’ has two community liaison groups: the Inner Harbour Community Liaison Group and the Kwinana Community Liaison Group. Members continue to be regularly briefed on the project.
Regular project updates are included in Fremantle Ports’ Portfolio community newsletter.
