APPENDIX 3: STAKEHOLDER AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT FACT SHEET

Community and Stakeholder EngagementBoral is committed to pursuing industry speci c best practice in environmental performance, and being an industry leader in community and sustainability issues within our business.

This commitment is essential to ensure the success and development of our operations into the future. To guide our activities, Boral Construction Materials in Queensland produced a set of objectives and a framework for operations, known as our Regional Sustainability Plan.

In Queensland since 2007:• 5 out of 5 Boral quarry

development applications have been approved, with community and council support

• 8 Community Liaison Groups are active at Boral quarries

• 81 individual Community Liaison Group meetings were held, involving 140 stakeholders

• 19 community engagement projects are active at Boral quarries

• 30 community engagement events were held throughout Queensland

• More than 1500 community members attended community engagement events

The four key Strategic Sustainability

Objectives of the Regional

Sustainability Plan

1. Compliance and Management:

ensure all sites are managed and maintained in accordance with statutory environmental and planning requirements

2. Stakeholder Perception:

enhance local community relationships by proactively managing environmental impacts and improving operational image. Build mutually beneficial relationships with the local community and other interested community members, groups and organisations. This objective also aims to improve relationships with other external bodies including political, regulators and customers.

3. Land Management: manage vegetation on all sites to statutory requirements ensuring land and resources are not sterilised. Ensure extractive industry sites are rehabilitated to industry best practice

4. Resource Efficiency: improve efficiency through implementation and promotion of sustainable work practices. The objective targets the key areas of water, energy (including Greenhouse Gas emissions) and waste & recycling.

Implementation of this Plan has enabled Boral to “raise the industry bar”.
