Community Reference Groups

What is a Community Reference Group?
SUEZ operates several Community Reference Groups (CRG’s) across Australia. These groups provide an interactive, consultative forum for members of the community to keep up to date on the operation of waste management and organics processing facilities in their area, and to have input in a range of resource recovery, sustainability and corporate citizenship areas.

CRG’s aim to:

• Facilitate community awareness of operations, environmental performance and short, medium and long-term developments
• Create an open dialogue between SUEZ and community representatives on issues of concern
• Offer a practical avenue for community input into decisions around SUEZ facilities, and
• Unite SUEZ and community representatives in minimising the impact of facilities on the local community.

 

How can I get involved?
Most CRG’s meet three to six times each year, depending on the relevant facility and location. Membership is voluntary, free of charge and open to any interested individual or community group living or working in the vicinity of the facility.

Meetings are held either at the relevant SUEZ facility or at a nearby community venue, with light refreshments provided. Members receive invitations and agendas prior to each meeting along with a copy of the minutes from the previous meeting.
