Community Partnership
The GKI Revitalisation Plan is committed to gaining genuine community involvement in the design and operational planning for Great Keppel Island (GKI) . During the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) process, the GKI Revitalisation Plan Project Team will engage in a substantial community consultation program which will involve a series of stakeholder engagement meetings and interactive discussions with key environmental organisations. The consultation program will be an integral part of the social impact assessment element of the EIS. All community members will also have the opportunity to contact the Project Team directly, to provide their comments to be considered.
The community consultation program and social impact assessment will aim to ensure the final GKI Revitalisation Plan contributes to the broader region and that the development aligns with the vision of the community.
GKI Revitalisation Plan will commit to a strong sense of community and will offer residents of GKI improved electricity and water supplies. GKI Revitalisation Plan will also provide Island residents with improved access to unload goods, increased regularity of ferry services, access to emergency services and improved shopping facilities. Included in GKI Revitalisation Plan is a commitment to continue to provide a network of walking paths that will allow full public access to the island.
This commitment will significantly improve access to and throughout the Island and deliver the highest standard of community facilities ever provided on the Island.
