Our approach to community engagement
We’re working closely with the community to minimise the impacts of the Hunter Transmission Project on people and the environment and to maximise the project’s benefits for the region.
Through early and ongoing engagement, we’ve gathered local knowledge and feedback that’s helped shape the project’s design. We’re engaging with affected individuals, the Aboriginal community, environmental groups and other key stakeholders to understand issues, protect sensitive areas and help guide how the project is planned and delivered.
We have a dedicated local team available to answer questions, provide information, investigate concerns and involve the community in the planning of the project.
Our Hunter-Central Coast Regional Reference Group (RRG) also provides a forum for strategic discussions between EnergyCo and the broader Hunter community about the Hunter Transmission Project.
How your feedback helps shape our work
Community feedback plays an important role in how we plan and deliver the Hunter Transmission Project. It helps us understand what’s important to the community, respond to concerns and make decisions that minimise impacts
