Recommendation 1
7.13 The committee recommends
that the Commonwealth Minister for Environment and Water Resources, when
exercising authority under the EPBC Act, considers the evidence received on the
potential environmental impact of the Traveston Dam on the Mary River and the
species of the river. The committee also recommends that the Minister reviews
the results of the audit on the Paradise Dam approval conditions to mitigate
any potential effect on threatened species.

- instigate strategies that will inform, engage and consult with
members of the affected communities;
- ensure that businesses affected by the proposed dams are
adequately compensated and offered appropriate assistance; and
- where possible, facilitate the timely release of copies of
reports and information to members of the community to achieve a transparent
and open process.
