Port of Townsville Limited established the Townsville Port Community Liaison Group (CLG) in early 2017 following the success of the Port Stakeholder Working Group (PSWG). The CLG has the scope to include all facets of port operation in its agenda.
The Port Stakeholder Working Group was established in April 2015 to provide a forum for discussion on air quality between Port of Townsville Limited and port operators and key stakeholders including community representatives, North Queensland Conservation Council, relevant Government agencies and Townsville City Council. The PSWG had its final meeting on 30 January 2017.
The objectives and achievements of the PSWG, as well as a comprehensive list of frequently asked questions about air quality in Townsville can be viewed here PSWG Objectives and Achievements - FAQ.
The CLG is comprised of community members and community groups/organisations (membership list below) who have a strong interest in the operations of the port, port sustainability and future port development plans and work in partnership with the Port team by providing feedback, opinions and input into our operations, stakeholder engagement and future plans.
Members are encouraged to contribute to the bimonthly agenda which includes trade performance and potential new cargo, environmental monitoring results (including air quality), major project information, cruise and defence ship attraction progress, and community engagement, partnership and project initiatives.
The CLG meets on the last Wednesday bimonthly from 5pm-6.30pm, alternating between locations in Townsville and on Magnetic Island.
Minutes of all meetings will be published on this page of the Port of Townsville website.
