Working with the community
EnergyCo and Ausgrid as network operator are committed to working with the community to minimise project impacts and maximise opportunities for more jobs and work for local businesses.
Assessing impacts in the Hunter-Central Coast REZ Network Infrastructure Project
We're working with generation and transmission project partners, NSW Government agencies and local councils to deliver the Hunter-Central Coast REZ Network Infrastructure Project.
We will work with communities and key stakeholders to understand how we can deliver long-lasting benefits and minimise project impacts for the community.
Ausgrid released a review of environmental factors (REF) for public exhibition and comment on 29 April 2025.

Ausgrid regularly holds community information sessions and has a presence at various local events around the region.
