Telstra AssetsThe specific management plan agreed with Telstra for their assets within theApplication Area (Annex A) includes regular review meetings to be held as aforum for discussion of subsidence monitoring and management processes,and resolution of any subsidence management issues related to those assets.Electricity Transmission LinesAs agreed with EnergyAustralia, other than the notification process describedin Section 5.2, there is no formal ongoing consultation with theirrepresentatives. The specific management plan for the electricity transmissionlines (Annex B) requires that if there are subsidence impacts on the lines whichrequire remediation, agreed consultation between GCCM andEnergyAustralia will be undertaken in order to initiate the required works.Forest RoadThe specific management plan for Forest Road (Annex C) requires notificationto Singleton Shire Council and the Department of Lands of subsidence-relatedimpacts. In addition, there is a requirement for joint inspections of the road ata frequency determined by the progression of mining.5.4 STAKEHOLDER ISSUES AND CONCERNSA free-call environmental hotline (1800 505 361) was established by GCCM in2004 to facilitate the reporting of any environmental matter of concern,including subsidence-related issues. This number was communicated at thepresentation to stakeholders and in the letters notifying stakeholders of thesubmission of the SMP application. It has also been advertised in theSingleton Argus (local newspaper).Any individual who has concerns regarding a subsidence-related issue isurged to contact the mine to enable the issue to be addressed promptly.Any subsidence-related issues raised by stakeholders via the environmentalhotline, or through other consultation processes, will be recorded in the mine’sexisting Community Complaints Register. This process will ensure that allissues raised are addressed and a record is kept of issues, consultation,responses and actions.ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT AUSTRALIA 0038321/FINAL/3 JANUARY 20075
5.5 RELEVANCE AND ADEQUACY OF CONSULTATION PROCESSESThe Guidelines for Best Practice Community Consultation in the New SouthWales Mining and Extractive Industries (MCMPR, 2005) were applied duringthe community consultation process for this SMP Application.Additionally, GCCM has been successfully holding formal and informalconsultation discussions and meetings with interested stakeholders andlandowners since operations began at Glennies Creek Colliery in 1996. Thistype of stakeholder consultation will continue.GCCM expects that there will be ongoing consultation with stakeholdersregarding specific features within the Application Area and issues which ariseover time. Mechanisms are in place through which stakeholders can raiseconcerns or issues regarding subsidence impacts.The ongoing consultation processes described in this SMP, and appendedspecific management plans, are relevant and adequate for the predicted levelof subsidence impacts.ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT AUSTRALIA 0038321/FINAL/3 JANUARY 20076
