WORKING TOGETHER
We believe that understanding and respecting diverse viewpoints is a vital step toward finding common ground and achieving sustainable outcomes. Ultimately, we want the project to proactively contribute to the goals and aspirations of the communities with an interest in the area.
OceanaGold Waihi is committed to a long-term partnership with the community and it is important to us that you have reliable information about what we are proposing and what it means to you.
YOUR INPUT
Before we can start any project, we must often obtain approvals such as resource consents. As part of that process, and
before we formally apply for consents, we want to get the community’s input on any proposed project.
SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT
As part of this project development, we will be conducting a Social Impact Assessment – this is an independent study that is designed to identify and help us manage the effects of the proposed project on the wider communities’ lifestyles,
cultures, health, environments, and quality of life. The Social Impact Assessment process will involve working with wider communities to gather information using surveys,interviews, focus groups, and one-on-one meetings. We welcome inquiries from anyone looking to learn more about the project.
OUR COMMITMENT
OceanaGold Waihi is committed to making positive contributions to the sustainable development of the region. Consultation will help inform us of the wider communities’ values and aspirations. From this, we will develop and partner in sustainable community development initiatives.
THE CONSENTING PATHWAY
The Waihi North Project is an important project that will bring major employment and economic benefits to the district through 2037 and beyond. OceanaGold Waihi are investigating the appropriateness of different consenting pathways.
Regardless of the consenting pathway, prior to applying for consent, we will share more in-depth details of the project with affected and interested stakeholders and provide them opportunities to give input towards the final project design.
