Achieving a positive outcome for the site relies on strong relationships with the local community and stakeholders. Understanding what matters to people who live, work and spend time in the area helps shape the project as it progresses.

A stakeholder engagement approach has been developed to provide opportunities for the community to stay informed, ask questions and share feedback at key stages of planning and delivery. This feedback will help guide the ongoing development of the project.

Engagement activities

Mirvac is undertaking early consultation on several State Significant Development Applications (SSDAs) for Blackwattle Bay before they are lodged with the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (DPHI).

The consultation is being staggered so the community can consider the detail of each SSDA in stages, rather than receiving all of the information at once. This is intended to make it easier for people to understand what is proposed, ask questions and provide feedback on each part of the project.

Feedback received during this early consultation will help inform the SSDAs before they are lodged with DPHI. Once each SSDA is lodged, DPHI will run the formal public exhibition process, where community members and stakeholders can make a submission directly to the Department.

If you’d like to share your feedback on the plans with the project team, or have a general question, please get in touch via email at blackwattlebaycommunity@mirvac.com .
