Community

Our commitment to communities

We're committed to working with landholders, communities and other stakeholders to inform the development of NSW renewable energy zones (REZs) and electricity infrastructure projects.

How we engage with communities

We use a number of methods to keep communities informed and engaged during the development of our projects:

• notifications and newsletters
• community information sessions
• working groups and forums including community reference groups and First Nations working groups
• pop-up displays at local events and towns
• advertisements
• social media
• feedback and surveys in REZ communities
• intergovernmental and council steering committees
• landowner consultation
• through this website and our interactive map.

Visit our pages about REZs and projects to read the latest updates and community information.

Our engagement principles

• We engage early and throughout our projects.
• We ensure that everyone has the opportunity to be included in consultations.
• We listen and respond to community feedback.
• We respectfully engage with First Nations people and protect their cultural heritage.
• We provide clear, accurate and timely information.
• We work with communities and First Nations groups to deliver meaningful community benefits.

When engaging with EnergyCo, we ask the community to:

• engage respectfully with our team and other community members when participating in meetings, information sessions and other activities
• clearly identify the reasons for a complaint and provide relevant supporting information to help us investigate and respond appropriately
• carefully consider any responses provided by EnergyCo
• understand that some matters or policies are still being developed as the project progresses, and a final position may take time
