Why has the Government reviewed the SSRC Act?

The Government reviewed the SSRC Act in a process known as a post-implementation review to assess how effective it has been for regional communities.

The review examined the actual observed impacts of the SSRC Act, including:

• the costs and benefits of the Act since its implementation and any unintended consequences on the government, community and industry
• the effectiveness of the Act in meeting its object of ensuring that residents of communities in the vicinity of large resource projects benefit from the construction and operation of these projects.
