The Centre for Applied Legal Studies hosts the launch of their third and final report in their Social and Labour Plan (SLP) Project.

The first two reports uncovered systemic problems in the existing SLP system that prevent it from achieving its objectives of transforming the mining sector and ensuring development for mine-affected communities. The report seeks to address these problems through proposing alternative and more community-driven models while also proposing immediate measures to improve the existing SLP system. The ongoing process of amending minerals policy and legislation coupled with challenges to the existing system by communities and workers mean that it is an opportune moment to discuss more people-centred alternatives.
