Social & Health Impact Assessment - Public Exhibition

Developments within the shire have potential to impact people’s health and wellbeing – positively or negatively.

To address this, Wollondilly Council has been piloting a process of Social & Health Impact Assessment (SHIA), which aims to identify, anticipate, understand and manage the social and health outcomes of a new development proposal, policy or plan.

This means applicants need to identify how their development or proposal might affect health and wellbeing within a community, and propose ways to mitigate negative impacts.

Two levels of assessments are used according to the scale and type of the development - a Comprehensive Social and Health Impact Report (CSHIR) for the larger proposals, and a Social and Health Impact Comment (SHIC) for medium-scale proposals.

Minor and small-scale proposals which are unlikely to have any significant social and health impacts won’t need to undertake the assessment.

With input from the pilot scheme, the draft Social and Health Impact Assessment Policy and Guidelines are now on Public Exhibition, and we are inviting feedback.
