The first edition of Alcoa Anglesea News invited over 2800 Anglesea ratepayers and 50 key stakeholders to take part in a number of engagement opportunities including site tours, the Community Consultation Network (CCN), receiving future editions of the newsletter, Anglesea’s monthly Environment Report and CCN minutes, and becoming involved in the site’s highest priority environmental project for 2008 – the Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) Management Project. Following a positive community response of about 8%, a tour day was organised for Saturday 28 June 2008. Around 30 permanent and non-permanent Anglesea residents attended where they were taken on a general tour of the Anglesea site and an SO2 info session was also held for interested residents. Lunch was also provided which gave residents and Alcoa employees a chance to meet and discuss the Anglesea business in a social setting. The responses to the newsletter have helped the business to identify how Anglesea residents would like information conveyed to them and allowed engagement with a wider range of residents - both permanent and nonpermanent - on aspects of Alcoa Anglesea’s operations that are of interest to them. Through the newsletter, Alcoa Anglesea hopes to further engage with local stakeholders and provide even more opportunities to become informed about different areas of its operations.
