From October 2021, all new state significant projects will need to prepare a social impact assessment. The new Social Impact Assessment Guideline provides a framework to identify, predict and evaluate likely social impacts and propose responses to them.

This DPIE briefing session will present the guideline and provide an opportunity for you to ask questions.
