The Centre’s research addresses a wide range of social impacts and issues. It seeks to provide new knowledge to help government and industry manage social and economic impacts at a regional scale, develop strategies that enhance the social performance capacity of the industry, and deliver positive, collaborative, long term development outcomes for communities affected by natural gas development.
Researchers design and apply innovative community engagement methodologies, examine issues associated with the management of cumulative impacts and develop evidence-based contributions to policy debates about the regulation of the sector.
