SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT FORUM for Social Planners
The Department of Infrastructure and Planning (DIP) have been developing up some Social Impact Assessment (SIA) and Social Impact Management Plan (SIMP) Guidelines. The guidelines are to assist the community and proponents in the undertaking of Social Impact Assessment that are triggered as a part of an Environmental Impact Assessment process.

The state will be releasing these guidelines in draft very soon for comment. This will be followed by a number of regional consultations held across the state. We will be sure to let you know these dates as soon as they come to us here at LGAQ.

In the mean time the first forum has been announced by PIA for social planners and they want to get the word out there...

The shape and nature of Social Planning in Queensland is rapidly changing! New legislation, new ways of working and new ideas are all around us. As social planning and social impact assessment practitioners it is important to keep pace with these changes through training, networking and education.

Come along to the 2010 Social Impact Assessment (SIA) Forum and learn about the changes happening in your sector. Hear from Department of Infrastructure and Planning Representatives about legislative changes and take the opportunity to learn about and give feedback on the Social Impact Management Plan (SIMP) guideline and template being prepared by the Social Impact Assessment Unit of the Department of Infrastructure and Planning in consultation with the Queensland Resources Council and the Local Government Association of Queensland.
