Civil Infrastructure Clause Samples

Civil Infrastructure. Improved capital infrastructure was promised as part of the benefits to the Lihir community. The main item that has provided an immediate benefit to the community is the ring road, which was completed as a joint project by the National Government and LMC before the start of construction. Since that time, the road has been significantly upgraded, in particular the section from the airport to Palie via the mine site. The negotiating committee has prepared a program of infrastructure development covering the next five years. The priority areas established include the provision of permanent water supplies, drainage and sanitation, further extension of electrical reticulation and the maintenance and upgrade of the ring road. The Special Purpose Authority will have a key role to play in the planning, design and implementation of these projects. This will ensure that the capacity for implementing such works is developed on Lihir as part of the local level government system. LMC will provide technical support (and finance) to facilitate this process.
