The construction of the NRE Facility will be a significant infrastructure project and the project will take all reasonable steps to minimise impacts on the local community. We recognise that construction activities may at times cause temporary inconvenience to residents, businesses, and other stakeholders in the area, but where possible, stakeholders will be informed in advance of any activity that could impact them.

Project contact information will be clearly displayed on the site boundary to enable stakeholders to communicate any concerns or queries about the project. This information will include relevant contact information for NRE head office and will also specify a dedicated contact for any concerns relating to air quality, dust, and noise levels.

The NRE complaints process has been established to ensure all concerns are addressed promptly, transparently, and effectively therefore if you have a comment or complaint, please follow the requirements below.
