What we heard
We want the site close to the town centre
It’s important for us that accommodation is near the Central Business District so workers can easily access local services and shop
Concerns about noise
People want to know how noise from the accommodation will be managed to keep things peaceful for nearby residents
Traffic needs to be carefully managed
There’s a lot of worry about the extra vehicles, especially around shift change
times, and how that will affect local roads
We want the site to blend in visually
People don’t want the accommodation to stand out or spoil the look of the area
Think about what happens after construction
Many people want the accommodation to be designed so it can be used for other community needs once the project is done
Be clear about utilities and worker behaviour
People want to know how water and energy will be used responsibly, and that workers will be respectful and well-manage
