COMMUNITY

Sharing the benefits with community

Sharing the benefits of projects with communities is fundamental to our belief in building value that matters.

One of the ways we will do this is through a Community Benefit Program that will involve an annual financial contribution to support community needs and share the proceeds of the Summerfield Battery.

We are looking at a Community Benefits Program which could include opportunities to fund:

• Environment and sustainability initiatives and projects

• Local skills, employment and training programs

• Local Traditional Owner initiatives

• Valued projects that contribute to a thriving community

• Sponsorship requests

More information about how we propose to share benefits will be made available in the coming months. Keep an eye on the website or subscribe to email updates to be notified about the program and how to get involved.

Our approach

From the earliest stage of our work, we look to partner with locals, including Traditional Owners and other landholders, councils, community groups, industry, agriculture and residents. 

We do our homework to understand the potential of development sites, both for clean energy and for opportunities to deliver community benefits tailored to local needs. Then we get out to talk with the people who really know the area. 

We combine our community-centric philosophy with technical skills right from the start, because we know that the best clean energy projects are created with communities at the centre.

Local procurement

We are committed to procuring goods and services locally in the region where possible. This will include using:

• Local catering and cleaning services

• First Nations businesses and individuals

• Local manufacturing and suppliers

If you are a local business or supplier and interested in supplying the project, get in touch.
