Working with the community
The South West REZ will bring significant private investment, community benefit and employment opportunities to the region.
Part of our role as infrastructure planner for the South West REZ involves working closely with the community and local businesses to maximise benefits and minimise impacts.
Renewable energy companies and Transgrid are also consulting with communities regarding the impacts and benefit sharing initiatives from their projects.
Upcoming consultation on the Community and Employment Benefit Program
The NSW Government has legislated funding for community and employment purposes in declared REZs.
The Community and Employment Benefit Program is funded by our generator project partners through access fees.
We’ll soon consult the local community to understand how we should deliver our Community and Employment Benefit Program across the South West REZ.
