“Gaining the trust and approval of the local Indigenous community was not an optional add-on or a bonus: it was an essential step in bringing Chandler closer to fruition.
“This is because Tellus operates a consent-based approach that places local communities front-and-centre in the decision-making processes, and recognises their rights, concerns, and local knowledge.
“A project cannot proceed unless it is accepted by the stakeholders—and is absolutely safe. Tellus seeks to gain the trust of the stakeholders through open communications and respect for their views and values, which will continue to inform the Chandler Project at all stages including, hopefully, decades of operation.”
