Key details

The Community and Employment Benefit Program will contribute to the long-term prosperity of the New England Renewable Energy Zone (REZ) region by funding legacy infrastructure, education and training programs and First Nations projects.

The Minister for Energy recently announced that an initial $60 million will be invested into communities hosting renewable energy and transmission lines so they can share the benefits of this once-in-a-generation opportunity. It will bring new investment, funding and local jobs.

Have your say in the upcoming consultation

The first stage of the New England REZ Program is now taking shape and will be informed through a consultation process to be led by EnergyCo over the coming months.

This will build on consultation already undertaken in the New England REZ to ensure local priorities inform Program design.
