Woodside regularly engages with the local communities in Karratha and Roebourne to keep residents informed of the progress of the Pluto LNG Project and other activities it undertakes in the area.

 

The Woodside Karratha Community Liaison Group is a key forum for community liaison, providing a mechanism for the community to give feedback to Woodside. The membership of the group includes representatives from government agencies, industry associations and not-for-profit organisations, in addition to other community members.

 

The Pluto LNG Project’s community investment program is focused on establishing long-term relationships that deliver mutual benefit to Woodside and the community. Key projects focus on youth development, lifestyle and family activities, community services and infrastructure.

 

The Pluto LNG Project’s Indigenous community investment program is focused on supporting projects related to Aboriginal culture. The program provides activities for art and youth development, as well as opportunities to celebrate and preserve Indigenous culture and language.

 

 A Social Impact Study has been prepared for the Pluto LNG Project, which identifies potential impacts on the local community and associated management strategies. Issues with high significance requiring specific management include housing and accommodation, training and workforce planning.
