Abstract

Statutory environmental approvals are commonly on the critical path for the delivery of many large infrastructure projects.

Consultation with impacted and/or interested stakeholders forms a key input to the successful delivery of approvals and is a worthwhile investment of time and effort.  

This presentation will describe the common challenges in gaining environmental and social acceptance of desalination projects, and suggest mechanisms and techniques for resolving and gaining trust in order to facilitate projects achieving timely delivery.
