safer. cleaner. better.

QAL’s Community Forum is a local, volunteer, community-based initiative that raises awareness and understanding of environmental issues at QAL and within the wider Gladstone community. It is considered a valuable and constructive asset within the community relations program.

The Community Forum was established late 2001 with the following principles and objectives:

  • To work together to achieve results to the satisfaction of the broader community
  • To continuously reduce the impact on the community while maintaining the operations of the plant
  • To achieve a mutual understanding of technical environmental matters through education and sharing of information via an agreed and shared database.

The Forum consists of approximately 25 core members and meets every two months. In addition, Forum members are invited to meet directly with QAL’s Executive Committee annually.

Forum input, activities and outcomes have included:

  • Forum participation in open day events helping to educate the community about environmental improvement projects
  • The annual meeting between the QAL Board of Directors and Forum representatives
  • Involving the community in monitoring environmental impacts outside the QAL boundary
  • The provision of guest speakers at meetings to ensure technical and complex material is effectively communicated

New members are always welcome.  If you would like to join the QAL Community Forum, please contact our Community Relations Team by clicking on the link. Community Forum Enquiry
