Community 

Community Consultation: 
Why It Matters

We have worked closely with local landholders, neighbours, and the broader community from the early stages of development, hosting one-on-one meetings and community drop-in sessions to gather feedback and address concerns. This open dialogue resulted in the views of the community being incorporated into the early project design, minimising any potential impact. Community feedback, alongside technical and environmental assessments, directly influenced aspects of the project, including the design of the transmission line route. We will continue to engage with the community through regular drop-in sessions, ensuring ongoing consultation as the project progresses.

Community Employment and Economic Benefits

Our commitment to the community extends beyond consultation and into tangible benefits chosen by the community. A best in class community fund has been established for the Georgetown, Gulnare, Caltowie/Bundaleer/Washpool, Gladstone and Nukunu communities, supporting both the construction phase and the initial 30 years of operation for the proposed project. The Campbell Range Wind Farm Fund is the registered Community Liaison Group on behalf of the proposed project and will oversee the allocation of funds to ensure they are used in ways that provide the most value to local residents. Ongoing meetings with the Campbell Range Wind Farm Fund Association, along with input from Community Development Associations (CDAs), will enable us to allocate the community benefit fund effectively.

Additionally, we are working closely with Regional Development Australia (Mid North/Yorke Peninsula) and our primary contractors to host Supplier and Employment Forums starting in March. These forums aim to bring local procurement and employment opportunities to the region, further boosting the local economy and ensuring that the community directly benefits from the project’s success.
