workforce, accommodation, housing, and use of community infrastructure and services,from the project, and other proposals for development projects in the area, which arepublicly known or communicated by the office of the Coordinator-General, if theyoverlap the proposed project.6.2.2. Mitigation measures and management strategiesFor identified social impacts, social impact mitigation strategies and measures shouldbe presented to address the:• recruitment and training of the construction and operation workforces and the socialand cultural implications this may have for the host community, including if any partof the workforce is sourced from outside the social and cultural area• housing and accommodation issues, in consultation with relevant local authoritiesand state government agencies, with proposals for accommodating the projectworkforce and their families that avoid, mitigate or offset any short- andmedium-term adverse effects on housing affordability and availability, including therental market, in the social and cultural area—the Major Resource Projects HousingPolicy (Department of Employment, Economic Development and Innovation 2011b)sets out the core principles to guide the identification and assessment ofaccommodation and housing impacts and development of mitigation andmanagement strategies (see also Part B, Section 4.5.4 of this TOR)• demographic changes in the profile of the region and the associated sufficiency ofcurrent social infrastructure, particularly health and welfare, education, policing andemergency services• preparation and implementation of an Indigenous participation plan, in consultationwith SPC and other relevant authorities and stakeholders• adequate provision of education, training and employment for vulnerable anddisadvantages groups and Indigenous peoples.Describe any consultation about acceptance of proposed mitigation strategies and howpractical management and monitoring regimes are proposed to be implemented.6.2.3. Social impact management planPresent a draft SIMP that promotes an active and ongoing role for impactedcommunities and local authorities through the project life cycle. The draft SIMP shouldcover:• assignment of accountability and resources• updates on activities and commitments• mechanisms to respond to public enquiries and complaints• mechanisms to resolve disputes with stakeholders• periodic evaluation of the effectiveness of community engagement processes• practical mechanisms to monitor and adjust mitigation strategies and action plans• action plans to implement mitigation strategies and measures.- 62 - Contents of the EISDudgeon Point Coal Terminals ProjectTerms of reference for an environmental impact statement

Economic values and management ofimpacts7.1. Economy7.1.1. Description of affected local and regional economiesDescribe the existing economy in which the project is located and the economiesmaterially impacted by the project. Include:• a map illustrating the local and regional economies (local government areas) thatcould be potentially affected by the project• gross regional product or other appropriate measure of annual economic production• population• labour force and unemployment statistics• economic indicators• estimate the Gini coefficient based on current income distribution for the residentpopulation in the region and estimate the likely impact of the project on the Ginicoefficient for the region• the regional economy’s key industries and their contribution to regional economicincome• the key regional markets relevant to the project:– labour market– housing, land and rental accommodation markets– construction services and building inputs market– educational market– regional competitive advantage and expected future growth.With regard to the region’s key industries and factor prices, provide information on:• current input costs (for example, wage rates, building costs, housing rent)• land values in the region by type of use.Cross reference this section with Part B, Section 6.1 of this TOR.7.1.2. Potential impacts and mitigation measuresThe potential economic impacts, both positive and negative, should consider local,regional, state and national perspectives as appropriate to the scale of the project.The assessment should use a regional general equilibrium model analysis tool orsimilar model to measure impacts and state the assumptions underlying the economicanalysis.Contents of the EISDudgeon Point Coal Terminals ProjectTerms of reference for an environmental impact statement- 63 -
