A final issue of concern was law and order
and although presently this is not a concern
that Xstrata is addressing, we are committed
to using stakeholder feedback to refine,
where appropriate, our operational responses
to these issues contained in the 2010
stakeholder engagement plan.
Corporate Social
Involvement program
In 2010, the XCPPNQ supported eight
initiatives in the Townsville community with
a program value of $153,000. A selection of
these community partnerships is outlined in
the table on page 76.
The Townsville operations also invested
around $91,000 in 2010 on sponsorships,
donations and other community support
initiatives in Townsville (see pie graphs on
this page).
This included goods and monetary donations
to Wulguru, Stuart, Oonoonba and Garbutt

Indigenous rights and
Aboriginal Cultural
Heritage
The Girambilbarra people are the traditional
custodians of the land on which we
operate. In 2010 there were no incidents
of Indigenous rights being violated, and
no Aboriginal cultural heritage sites were
disturbed by our operations during the year.
Mine closure
Our Townsville operations finalised
preliminary closure plans for our copper
refinery and port operations. These plans
identify risks for operations, decommissioning
and post closure, stakeholder identification
and future engagement strategies, specific
studies for completion, environmental
monitoring requirements, forecasting
of projects until closure to progressively
rehabilitate sites and provide cost estimates
for provisioning. These conceptual plans
progress to detailed closure plans within
three years of a site ceasing operations.
