Community input is a valuable and vital component of the Balaclava Island Coal Export Terminal Project. Xstrata Coal has established a Community Reference Group (CRG). The CRG provides a forum for open discussion between representatives of the Project and the local community. The group will keep Xstrata Coal aware of local issues as they arise and feed information on the project back to their communities.
