Event Details
The renewables sector is experiencing a significant shift that’s reshaping how major projects gain community acceptance and regulatory approval. Historically, mining and resources companies have faced rigorous social impact requirements as part of their social license to operate, with detailed frameworks governing everything from local employment targets to infrastructure contributions. Across Australia, state governments are increasingly applying the same level of scrutiny and community benefit expectations to renewable projects. What was once a relatively straightforward approval process for wind farms, solar installations, and battery storage facilities is now evolving into a complex landscape of community engagement requirements, benefit-sharing obligations, and enhanced accountability measures.
Join Norton Rose Fulbright as we decode the changing landscape of community benefits requirements for large-scale renewable projects. This essential webinar will provide clarity on what’s happening in each key Australian jurisdiction and equip you with the insights needed to navigate this evolving terrain. During the session, we will provide:
- Analysis of current and emerging community benefits frameworks
- Strategic insights into regulatory trends and future requirements
- Practical guidance for project planning and stakeholder engagement
- Understanding of how different jurisdictions are aligning their approaches
