An approach to managing and investigating these consequences is presented. The importance of planning, communications, consultation and investment are emphasized. Responsibilities for staff usually lie with the facility management and responsibilities for the community with government organizations; however, effective teamwork between them is vital. International experience is presented to illustrate the advice offered.
