Community Engagement

AGL’s approach to stakeholder engagement is outlined in the Sustainability Report and can be summarised in terms of leaving a positive legacy; AGL will strive to make a net positive social, economic and environmental contribution to the communities in which we operate. AGL’s community engagement commitments that operate under this framework are that AGL will:

Be proactive: we will engage with communities early and often, so that we understand and respond to their interests and concerns.
Be flexible and inclusive: we will offer a range of engagement opportunities that are tailored to the variety of needs and preferences of the communities in which we operate.
Be transparent: we will act honestly and ethically in all our dealings with the communities in which we operate.
Support our employees and contractors to engage well: we will provide tools, peer support and training to enable our staff to deliver on our commitment.
Continuously improve our engagement: we will evaluate the effectiveness of our engagement and modify it as needed to ensure that our activities address community needs and expectations.

Community Dialogue Group

The AGL Torrens Island Community Dialogue Group (CDG) was established in 2023 to create a forum for providing updates, seeking feedback and answering questions relating to issues of interest to the broader community around Torrens Island, including ongoing operations, decommissioning and demolition of retiring plant, and the development, construction and operation of new plant and projects on the site.

The CDG includes key representatives and stakeholder groups who have a demonstrable interest in or connection to AGL Torrens Island.
