Our commitment

Ambre Energy believes that stakeholder input is critical to the success of its projects and activities, and that outcomes should be valued by the community.

To deliver ambreCTL, we will work collaboratively with government, industry, business and community stakeholders. We will provide timely access to information on ambreCTL and the decision-making processes, and adequate opportunity to participate in consultation activities – through the EIS process and beyond.

During October 2010, several hundred people attended community information sessions held in communities directly impacted by or surrounding ambreCTL. At these sessions, short presentations were given and specialist project staff then answered questions.

Ambre Energy undertook to make a written record of the sessions held in Felton, Clifton, Pittsworth and Toowoomba available publicly.

These meeting notes are not complete minutes, the sessions were not audio or video recorded. They include some summarising and aim to provide a fair representation of the questions asked and answers given.

Ambre Energy will strive to ensure our community contact reflects utmost consideration and respect for community and landholder needs. The way we conduct our business will reflect our core values of ethics, integrity, openness and honesty.

Sponsorship and community involvement

Ambre Energy regularly receives a number of sponsorship requests from organisations and individuals.

We welcome requests for sponsorship, which can be directed to (07) 3868 1191 or email info@ambreCTL.com and we will assess each on its ability to contribute to our business and community objectives.

We will continue to be a supporter of community events and initiatives that help us deliver messages to reach particular audiences in the EIS study area. If the project goes ahead, Ambre Energy will be part of the Darling Downs community for many years to come.

A sponsorship investment program will be developed through the EIS period, with community input.

Ambre Energy will also invest in initiatives that support the economic development and well-being of the communities where it operates. During the EIS process, community input will be sought on the best ways for this contribution to be made.

Community Liaison Group

To inform consultation activities on ambreCTL, a Community Liaison Group (CLG) has been formed which comprises landholders and members of community, business, environmental and other interest groups, and individuals.

The CLG is not a decision-making body. Through its terms of reference, it provides an opportunity to those who want closer involvement with the project during the development of an EIS. It will help ensure adequate opportunities are provided to people to find out about the project and will contribute to EIS studies.

The CLG’s inaugural meeting was held in September 2010. It will meet regularly after draft Terms of Reference for ambreCTL are available.

The CLG is part of an open and structured community consultation process. It will directly contribute to the project development and a shared understanding of the community and potential project impacts.

Membership is open to landholders, local interest groups and individuals. Stakeholders can express their interest at any time by calling 1800 262 285 (1800 AMB CTL) or emailing info@feltonCLG.com.au for an information kit. Membership is based on providing a representative cross-section of the community.

A CLG was established in 2009 for the Felton DME project, and provided a successful forum for discussing and exchanging views of relevance to that project.
