We are very pleased to confirm the details of our August technical seminar for members, scheduled for Thursday 29th August 2024.
EVENT DETAILS
TOPIC: “Remediation – risk, rage, reputation, recovery; a stakeholder perspective” – Barbara Campany (Barbara Campany & Associates)
TIME: 5.30pm drinks and nibbles, 6.00pm presentation begins
VENUE: Arcadis – L16, 580 George Street, Sydney
Presentation details
Barbara will speak about her experience in this area and share some project highlights and challenges around managing reputational risks attached to legacy contamination/remediation. She will also give a summary of how the community engagement profession has matured over the years and is now very much a cornerstone of best practice management for contaminated land projects today – a very different scenario to years ago. Barbara will also provide an overview of a risk management framework to help manage heightened community worry and potential outrage towards organisations/government/projects.
