    Appendix D Social Impact Assessment 41/15762/09/339481 R0 Notional Seaway Project Draft Environmental Impact Statement Coordinator•General Report for Gold Coast Notional Seaway Project Social Impact Assessment August 2006 Important Notice – Disclaimer SIA on a Notional Project including a Concept Design The Social Impact Assessment (SIA) has been developed and conducted to address the Terms of Reference of the Notional Seaway Project Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The EIS is based on a concept developed by GHD Pty Ltd (GHD). The concept design is based on a brief provided by the Queensland Government (Initial Advice Statement) and relevant design codes. Because this SIA has not been undertaken on a ‘real Project’ much of the information that is usually available to identify and assess social impacts is not present, therefore case studies and industry (both cruise ship and super yacht) information have been heavily relied upon. Participation of Notional Seaway Project Stakeholders Any participation in the SIA by Notional Seaway Project Stakeholders has been on a voluntary basis. Their participation in the SIA does not condemn nor advocate the development of the Project, rather it states the social impacts they have identified with the information they had at the time. 41/15762/343332 Gold Coast Notional Seaway Project Social Impact Assessment Contents Executive Summary xvi Introduction xvi Methodology xvi Community Profile xvi Community Services and Facilities xviii Existing Social Environment xviii Identification of Social Impacts xix Significance of Social Impacts xx Mitigation/Management and Enhancement Strategies xxiii Monitoring of Social Impacts xxiv Summary xxvi 1.
