Community Engagement
Global Quarries Australia has implemented an extensive community engagement program to keep local representatives and residents informed about the progress of its quarry application at Marulan.
the company launched a renewed engagement strategy in September 2024 to address changes in project plans, environmental assessments, and to notify the public of the intended Development Application submission by the end of 2024.
Doorknocking. Over 120 businesses and residences have been visited to provide direct project information, gather feedback, and address concerns. Where residents were unavailable, Community Information Notices were left in mailboxes or under doors.
Engagement with Community Representatives: Meetings have been arranged with key stakeholders, including:
• State Member for Goulburn
• Federal Member for Hume,
• Goulburn Mulwaree Council
• Pejar Local Aboriginal Land Council
• Marulan Rural Fire Brigade
Information Stands: An initial Information Stand held over two days in late May 2022 attracted 50 residents. A second stand was held in September 2024 in the Marulan town centre, coinciding with the distribution of updated project information.
Community Consultative Committee (CCC) Meetings: Several CCC meetings have been conducted, with the most recent in October 2024. These meetings provide updates on environmental reports, heritage assessments, and the latest project developments under the revised SEARs.
